K-TOWN— On August 28 Beer Belly is holding an event titled Craft for Crap and here's how it works. Pick a friend of yours that doesn't necessarily like craft beer, raid said friend's fridge and bring to Beer Belly whatever crap beer you can find. Give the crap beer to a Beer Belly bartender and he/she will trade you one of the following brews from Cismontane: Citizen (Steam Lager), Black's Dawn (Imperial Stout), or Coulter IPA. [EaterWire]
