idnight Sun First Firkin Friday -- October 7
8111 Dimond Hook Drive, 5 to 8pm. The event will feature winners from the "Energy Efficiency Can Be Sexy" photo contest. It's part of the city-wide Energy Awareness Month. Energy Efficiency! It's the simplest, easiest, most effective way to cut our energy costs, but it has an image problem. It lacks pizzazz, that sex appeal that makes us pay attention and act. Which is why Midnight Sun Brewing Company and the Energy Efficiency Conservation Working Group is hosting the "Energy Efficiency is Sexy" photo contest. We want to bring sexy back to EE and challenge contestants to send us homegrown art that would make us smile and hopefully get people to think and do their part with all those little steps we can take to reduce our energy consumption. Visit http://midnightsunbrewery.com for details. The First Firkin beer is T R E A T, an Imperial chocolate pumpkin porter cask-conditioned with cocoa nibs and Modern Dwellers' signature spicy Mayan chili blend.
