Mark your calendars. Bring your crew, grab a mug, and let’s make this the best Jacktoberfest yet.
Wind Down Sunday
We'll be hosting our Barkyard Sundays on the lower patio to close out the weekend. Free pup cups and treats for patio dogs. Hopefully we continue to have nice weather to continue Barkyard Sundays, but the odds are against us starting in October.
Taproom Closed Monday
We'll need a break after the weekend. Open regular hours starting Tuesday.
