Music Bingo with Ben

Every other Wednesday, or thereabouts, our taproom manager Ben hosts Music Bingo from 6-8pm. The premise is fun and simple—each round is variations of a theme, and you must match snippets of songs to your squares. Say, for example, the theme is Umlauts. You better brush up on your Björk, Mötorhead, and Blue Öyster Cult.
