Lompoc Brewing Barrel Aged Derail Olde Ale Release & Night of the Living Red

Over the next two weeks Lompoc Brewing will be hosting a special bottle release for Barrel Aged Derail Olde Ale on March 9 and will usher in the return on Night of the Living Red an evening of red ales on March 16. Both events will take place at Sidebar, just around the corner from the Fifth Quadrant Brewpub on North Williams.

The bottle release for Lompoc’s Barrel Aged Derail Olde Ale will take place on Wednesday, March 9 from 4:00pm until close. Sidebar will be pouring Barrel Aged Derail Olde Ale on draft and will be selling bottles to go.
