Did you know that tomorrow is International Baltic Porter Day???

Baltic Porters originate from the times when Enland was sending porter all over the world, including to Russia and the Baltics regions. Eventually local brewers starting to produce the style themselves where they slowly turned into lagers (YES, Baltic Porters are Lagers!)

Saturday, January 18th we will be celebrating this style with Baltic Porters on Draft, from Caskm, on Nitro, and in bottles - including two of the very first baltic porters ever producted in Baltic regions (Finland and Sweden).

Stop in and show some love to this overlooked style.

A New Year's Eve tradition at The Beer Temple - the 11PM Malort Send Off!

Come and go as you want - See you tomorrow!

We can't get excited about throwing a New Year's Eve Party, so instead, we decide to UN-party all day. No tickets, no party package, no noise makers.

Complimentary Champagne toast at Midnight? How about a complimentary Champagne of Beers toast EVERY HOUR from Open to Close.

Bad food? We've got the baddest food - free White Castle Sliders and Pizza!

Plus, isn't it weird that we have to watch the ball drop in New York at 11? At that point, we figured we might as well celebrate other cities New Year as well - places that give us excuses to tap cool beers.

- Special Tappings to correspond with New Years around the world
- Movie marathons of movies set in 2025
- Hourly countdown with complimentary Champagne (of beers) toast
- None of the lame stuff you hate about New Year's parties
