Ladies who love beer can join the Angels on Longman’s Patio on Wednesday, June 25th, from 6-8 p.m. Complete with snacks and, of course, lots of tasty brews. To add to the experience, some brewer friends will stop by to talk about their beers including brewer Eric Hobbs from Penrose Brewing & brewer Glenn Allen from Revolution Brewing.
