On Saturday, June 28, Big Hops Growler Station (8313 Broadway) will feature a variety of Prairie Artisan Ales on its taps for the day.

Imperial Stout, Prairie Wine Nior Imperial Stout, Prairie Bible Belt Imperial Stout, Prairie Ale Farmhouse Saison and Prairie Birra Farmhouse Saison. The event is aptly titled Prairie Shutdown. The Prairie Bible Belt Imperial Stout, which uses a blend of chilis, cacao nibs, coffee beans and vanilla beans, was brewed in collaboration with Evil Twin Brewing.
