Spotlight: Broken Goblet Brewing
Today, I turn a spotlight to one of my favorite local breweries and local music hubs, Broken Goblet Brewing. Instagram, today, surfaced a photo I posted last year on this date that I took at a photo shoot a few weeks earlier at Broken Goblet. Also, today, I saw a photo from Broken Goblet themselves saying goodbye to their old space in Bristol. So, what better topic for a Throw Back Thursday than to talk once again about Broken Goblet Brewing. The Daily Chron theme music, Rabbit Hole, is provided by the uber-talented E.Joseph.
