About this Event
Event Details
Welcome to Death over Drafts Connecticut! This community gathering is designed to spark curiosity and foster connections around the topics of death and dying. Join us for an evening of meaningful conversations, delicious craft beer, and a chance to meet members of the Connecticut Death Collective.
Hosted by Death over Drafts Crafter, Kate Bagnati and Becca Allen, this event offers a unique opportunity to blend two passions—craft beer and end-of-life discussions.
Schedule
6 to 6:30 p.m. Mingling and introductions
6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Playing "The Death Deck," a welcome conversation starter that lets us explore a topic we’re all obsessed with but often afraid to discuss!
7:30 to 8 p.m. Additional mingling and conversation
Everyone is welcome, even if you don’t love beer. This is not a support group, but a place for supportive connections.
Cheers! Come and connect with others while enjoying craft beer from Alvarium Beer Co., and be part of this unique community gathering.
