We love cupcakes and beer — separately but also together — and the folks at Global Brew Tap House & Lounge in Edwardsville are planning an event this weekend that sounds right up our alley.
The craft-beer bar marks its first birthday today, and its owners have teamed with the Cup in Edwardsville to create a special cupcake for the occasion: white chocolate cake with Southern Tier Mokah buttercream icing.
Global Brew features a frequently changing selection of beers on tap, as well as bottles from all around the world. Laura High, who owns the bar with Ryan Lowe and her husband, Ryan High, says a few fan-favorite brews will return for the party: Port Brewing Old Viscosity, New Belgium Lips of Faith Biere de Mars, Perennial Ales Hommel Bier, Founders Imperial Stout and a cask of Summit Winter Ale.
Laura also shared with us a fun by-the-numbers graphic that Global Brew's designer Aaron Skidis put together.
The bar opens at 1 p.m. today and closes at 2 a.m., but the party continues all weekend long.
