Live Music
Once again, we’re pleased to announce that the brew house will be bathed in the sultry yet sensational surf lounge sounds of the Professors. They’ve been in the studio recently working on a new album, so we’re hoping to hear a few new cuts before they take off on their big U.S. tour this summer.

As always, the food, music and fun are free to everyone who shows up in mask and costume ($10 for those who don’t). All the details are on the Lost Abbey website here: Carnevale di Lost Abbey Masquerade Ball 2011
