Lupulin Land Harvest Hopcoming eases into gear, today.

Fringe Fest downtown is done, and now it's uptown for Lupulin Land Harvest Hopcoming, NABC Pizzeria & Public House's annual paean to the magical hop cone. Lupulin Land begins today, as we begin tapping kegs at the original 3312 Plaza Drive location of NABC.

As noted previously, we’ll be bringing drafts on line gradually throughout the coming weeks rather than debuting them all on a Friday, as before.

There'll be four or five CO2-driven Lupulin Land kegs at a time on tap, with cask-conditioned firkins appearing at selected intervals (see below). Of course, Lupulin Land's host brewery is NABC, and our special guest this year is Founders Brewing.

Most of the remaining beers on the list are American-made, and yes, there'll be a visitation by Randall the Enamel Animal (the hoppy modulator). Stay tuned for his day and time.

To know what’s on, what’s gone, and other Lupulin Land Harvest Hopcoming news, follow NABC on Facebook and Twitter.

Here's a recap with firkin tapping dates and a few late additions.
