BEER PUPPETEER: We’re building two beer puppeteer rigs so you can challenge your friends to see who can drink their beer the fastest by puppeteering their glass to their mouth. Free play available at 1 PM, 6 PM, and 8 PM. No advance sign-up required.

LOGISTICS:
We expect a full house, so consider bringing your own lawn chairs or blankets as tables will go quickly. Or, get here early to beat the crowd, grab a beer and a picnic table.
If our parking lot is full, overflow parking is available at the business complex next door. Just head between our building and SpeeDee Oil Change Center to access the next parking lot.
Outside beverages/coolers are strictly prohibited. Please purchase all alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks from our taproom.

We can’t wait to celebrate our 12th Anniversary with you this fall!
