beers star wars darth vaderA long time ago in a galaxy far, far away a smuggler named Han Solo made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs!  (Maybe he was bootlegging.)  We may never know the details of his cargo, but we do know that Han and first mate, Chewbacca, like to wind down after a long day with drinks at Chalmun’s Cantina in Mos Eisley.  

Delaware Hop Scene and NorthDelaWHEREHappening.com have discovered local spaceports with out-of-this-world specials on this week when Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in theaters nationwide.  Check out deals as big as an Imperial Star Destroyer for Wednesday, December 16th through Tuesday, December 22nd.  Take a gander at the full sortable calendar of beer events at Delaware Hop Scene too!  May the Force be with YOU.
