Moore is helping organize the event along with the owners and staff of Heather’s Cafe, Mr. Boro’s Tavern, The Barrel, The Springboro Eagles 4014 and Warped Wing Barrel Room & Smokery. Moore said David Fernbacher, a Springboro Eagles 4014 member, originally came to him with the idea and by working together, they turned it into a pub crawl.
In previous years, Crooked Handle Brewing Co. has had live music, Irish fare and drink specials on St. Patrick’s Day.
“We’re really kicking it up,” Moore said. “We’re opening early this year. This is the first time since we’ve opened that we’re starting at 9 a.m.”
