Music Bingo with Ben
Oct

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.

Oktoberfestiversary Pre-Party

Join us for a pre-Oktoberfestiversary party as pitch the tents, set up the biergarten, roll out da barrel and proclaim, "O' zapft is!" On Friday, October 10, we're having an Oktoberfestiversary pre-party, where we'll tap a gravity keg of our Festbier to kick things off! This isn't just any gravity keg tapping, however —we got our hands on 200L pitch-lined gravity keg made by the same Munich coopers that make the barrels for the Munich Oktoberfest. Also joining us will be Beard & Belly on da grill and Tuba Force on the brass.

TO GET A POUR from this special gravity keg tapping, you'll need a sweet stein, which you'll be able to use all Oktoberfestiversary weekend.
