With 50 beers on draft and another 500 varieties in bottles, the new, 3,800-square-foot bar slated for a “Facebook opening” on March 19.
The plywood has come down from the windows. The tables installed and polished. The huge cooler is set to the appropriate temperature. All that’s left for World of Beer is, well, beer. Hundreds of brands of beer should arrive in the next couple weeks, as the new, 3,800-square-foot bar is slated to open in the INA Building on March 19.
