We all drifted into the Frisco Tap House in Columbia around 7:00pm for pint night. The promise of swag and delicious beer from the Grand Rapids, Michigan brewer, Founders, drew 6 of us in. Friscos offered about 10 Founders beers on tap. Pint night runs from 7-10pm, with a free glass if you try one of the featured brewer’s beers.

I concentrated on picking out a beer among the 100 selections.  They have a nice bottle collection and 18 taps. I picked Blue Point Oktoberfest from the 9 ever-changing taps. It is a well-made Oktoberfest. It tastes like Fall! I gave it a 3.25 on UnTappd.
