Salsarita’s in Middletown will play host to Stampede Sunday and Happy Hour this Sunday, Aug. 4, from 2-5 p.m.; basically, it’s a pre-event signup party for the Urban Stampede on Aug. 24.

Why is this being posted on a beer blog? Because Kentucky Ale is one of the sponsors, which makes it a good excuse to drink some local beer. You can getcha some if you show up to sign up. You can also get happy hour prices, enter to win random prizes and also get $60 of the $140 entry fee. The whole deal benefits Dare to Care Food Bank.
