Darkest Day Beer Fest 🌑Darkest Day of the Year: A Dark Beer Festival🌑
Join us on the darkest day of the year for a celebration of all things dark, roasty, barrel-aged, cozy, and a little chaotic. We’re leaning all the way in.
The star of the show? Heckin Chonker—our beloved bourbon barrel–aged stout with vanilla—which is dedicated to the chonky cats who grace our lives with their unapologetic mass and majestic presence.
We’re planning:
🌚 BEER | ALL DAY
We’ll have a stacked lineup of dark and barrel-aged beers—including some timed tappings.
🔥 HOT POKED BEERS
Dip a red hot poker in your beer to warm your hands and heart.
➰ FLASH TATTOOS | ALL DAY
Pick a permanent memento from our friends at Citadel Tattoo.
🐱 CAT ADOPTION | 4–6 PM
Midwest Animal Rescue & Services (MARS) will have adoptable kittens! Plus, $1 per pour will be donated to MARS.
