Many of you may know that our beloved dad passed away suddenly and peacefully Tuesday January 15. In the days since then there has been an enormous amount of love and blessings sent our way… we are so incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by you in this wonderful community.  Thank you.

In tribute and remembrance of Gar Hoflund, we are dedicating Sunday January 20th at the pub as Gar Day.  We open for all guests and friends of Gar to join this celebration from 4pm until Close.  We will be showing photos of Gar throughout the evening and offering Gar’s most favorite beers on special for the night.

We hope you will join us to share stories, smiles, and lots of laughs as we remember the good times and raise a pint in Gar’s honor.

Thank you for all your support and encouragement during this difficult time.

Cheers,

Berkeley and Bryce Hoflund

While we enjoyed a fantastic Swamp Head tap night and Goose Island launch party in November, we will continue our Wednesday tap nights in December featuring food specials and glassware giveaways. Wednesday December 5, Stubbies will host the Highland Brewing tap night from Asheville, NC.  Chef Kevin is preparing some great North Carolina style BBQ to pair with these delicious beers.  The following Wednesday (December 12), Stubbies is pleased to be hosting the Southern Tier tap night from NY state. And of course, Kevin and his crew will whip up some tasty treats.  As UF graduation weekend is upon us we expect to meet many folks from out of town celebrating with their graduates.  PLEASE NOTE:  Stubbies will be closed for a private party on Sunday December 16!

Indeed, whether you are just having a few folks visit from out of town for the holidays or you have an entire office party to plan, Stubbies is a great choice for all!  Please call in advance and let us know if you have a large party so that we may accommodate your every need.

Overwhelmed with shopping crowds?  Don’t be!  Come relax with a beer or 2 and let us work up a custom gift basket or gift certificate for anyone and everyone on your list.

So as we wrap up our 10th Fall semester in business, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for our guests for keeping us here in Gainesville serving up all these delicious beers… Thank you!  We look forward to celebrating the holidays with you and ringing in a happy 2013!
