It’s when businesses come together in support of such causes that real magic and change can happen. What an honor to be a part of it all,” said Bell Bank Champion Mark Tarbell.

The beers pair well with many dishes found at O.H.S.O and Tarbell offered a few pairings. Rice Lager – Hamachi Crudo, Fresh Made Potato Chips and Caviar, Phở Amber Lager – Boars Head Bratwurst, West TX Babyback Ribs, West TX Pulled Pork, Jamaican Jerk Chicken.
