Our friends at Silver Spruce Brewing Company have brewed up a very special rye pale ale, made especially for Norte. It's called Ryed, and it will be unveiled Sunday, May 1, at 4 pm. Come on down after the Previously Loved Bicycle Neighborhood Yard Sale and try a pint with the Norte staff. Throughout the month of May, Silver Spruce will donate $1 from every pint sold toward Norte's youth programs. Thank you! 🙏🧡🍺

A question and answer period will follow the slide show.
