The Fool's Lantern Taproom - 12 beers and 24 wines on tap always!

What’s behind the name “The Fool’s Lantern?”

Famously dubbed “The Town that Fooled the British,” Saint Michaels received this tagline by thwarting a British invasion during the War of 1812. The residents brilliantly hung lanterns above town to misdirect gunfire, sending British cannon volley far above their intended targets.

Fast forward more than 200 years and we are still celebrating the wily nature and independent spirit of this little town we all love! At The Fool’s Lantern the history’s close and the odds of a successful British incursion are still pretty slim!
