The Glass Jug Beer Lab - RTP

Join us for our annual recognition of stouts at The Glass Jug RTP - this time featuring our Deviation! Every year, the first Thursday of November is deemed International Stout Day and we're psyched to celebrate with you. Dark, malty,a little boozy and originating in the early 1700's, stout beer offers a unique beer experience. After all, the word stout means “strong”!
This year's tap list will feature the return of Glass Jug Deviation - not one but two versions - in cans and on draft. You'll love trying our Coffee Deviation AND Horchata Deviation plus a special draft-only version blend of Deviation and our Seismic Planet Barleywine.
Plus we'll have several guest taps to be announced so stop on in and savor the darkness.

Never picked up a paintbrush? This approachable watercolor workshop with artist Sia Karamalegos is a relaxed introduction to painting, as loose winter botanicals like evergreens, berries and pinecones take shape while the color flows across the page. You will work in the season’s palette of deep greens, berry reds and frosted neutrals and leave the experience with several small, finished paintings to give your holiday decorations a personal touch. 

All&nbsp;materials are provided, including professional-quality Winsor &amp; Newton watercolor paints, Fabriano Studio cold-press watercolor paper and brushes, so you can simply show up and paint.

Morning Choir presents North Carolina's own HEYZ for a homecoming stop on his 'Something Different' Tour, bringing bold sound design and forward-thinking bass music back to Durham's underground. Originally from North Carolina and now making waves out of Denver, HEYZ has carved out a lane that bridges the underground and the unfiltered. His catalog spans mau5trap, BiteThis!, Lowly, Deadbeats, Bassrush, and Odyzey, reflecting an evolution from techno-rooted beginnings to a forward-thinking bass sound that refuses to sit still. Bold sound design, unexpected humor, and immersive aesthetics define a project that treats unconventional concepts as a creative framework rather than a gimmick. What emerges is HEYZ's pursuit of originality over comfort. Kinetic live sets at Red Rocks, Lost Lands, and Bass Canyon have built a reputation as a performer who refuses easy categorization, while viral content and creative storytelling have captured fans across platforms with both authenticity and genuine artistic vision. This is bass music as immersive world-building. From Denver stages back to North Carolina's most intimate warehouse setting, this homecoming stop represents exactly the kind of unfiltered creative energy that Morning Choir exists to champion. Expect bold sound design, kinetic energy, and the kind of unconventional vision that keeps fans guessing and coming back for more.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/165550/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Stanczyks 1007 W Main St Durham, NC 27701

Some scenes feel like they were built overnight. Durham's wasn't. What has grown here over the past two decades, especially in metal and hip hop, is the product of bands and crews who kept showing up, playing basements, bars, parking lots, and built something that didn't need outside validation to exist. Genuine Durham is a celebration of that. A night that brings the two loudest, most uncompromising corners of this city's underground onto the same stage. Presented by Morning Choir &amp; 2DEADCREW. Stanczyk's Music Bar, 1007 W. Main St, Durham, NC. Doors 7pm, show 8pm. Ages 18+. $20 advance / $25 day of show.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/165552/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>
