On February 14th\, she is looking to utilize her herding instincts to bring beer enthusiasts together to spread the love this Valentine’s Day. Join us for the release of “Hazel’s Love Potion\,” a chocolate stout brewed by Kognisjon Bryggeri to benefit UPAWS! Enjoy a night out with your gal pals and buddies\, or a date night to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
