Tempe brewery Sleepy Dog begins the rollout of its new Monje Azul (Blue Monk) ale at, appropriately enough, Chandler’s Hungry Monk tonight.
Monje Azul, which will be tapped at 5 p.m., is a blonde Belgian ale infused with pure blue agave nectar. It has an ABV of 4.8% and 27 IBUs.
Best of all, craft beers are just $3 at the Monk all day Wednesdays.
Cooking, wine & cheese
Spill the Wine, Eat that Cheese – a chef demo and wine tasting to raise money for the charity Warfighter Sports – takes place at the Mesa Flancer’s at 6:30 tonight.
