It's the first quarterly Food Truck Giddyup! What's a giddyup? It's a food truck roundup... but just a little smaller. This event can happen rain or shine, so come hungry and thirsty! @asadowagon and @springhillbrewing are excited to showcase some of our favorite local foodie friends on the regular. To kick it off, Asado Wagon will be grilling and smoking their usual awesomeness, and we're welcoming @mrbulgogifoodtruck with their award-winning tacos to their first appearance on our hilltop. We have a few more TBA -- check back here soon for a full, updated list. Taproom opens at 2, food folks start serving at 4:30, and we'll cap the night off at the fire pit (weather permitting). We're celebrating the first of many Giddyups, and we're also very pumped for the return of DUSK, one of Spring Hill Brewing's flagship ales. DUSK is a malty and delicious nut brown Belgian ale, a classic brew that is sure to go great with fare from any (or all) of these excellent food vendors.
