Meet IRL | Curated Speed Dating at Half Acre Beer Co | Ages 32-42

Looking to meet someone great in person? Our speed dating events bring together compatible singles in a fun, low-pressure setting designed to spark real connections.

This specific event is for our community of singles ages 32-42 that are interested in male/female dating. Check out our other upcoming events if this one isn't for you!

How it works:

• Purchase your ticket based on your age and gender—you'll tell us who you're hoping to meet later.
• After checkout, check your confirmation email for a link to set up your profile in our Meet IRL app.
• In the app, you'll answer a few quick questions to help us match you with the most compatible people in the room!

What to expect:

• We’re a small, woman-owned business and we care deeply about creating high-quality, welcoming events. We’ll be there throughout the event to facilitate, answer questions, and make sure you have a great experience.
• Arrive between 6:30–6:45pm to check in, grab a drink, and mingle.
• Once we get started, you’ll rotate through about 8–10 one-on-one “mini dates” at different tables. Think of each round as a vibe check—short, intentional conversations with optional prompts to keep things flowing.

• We’ll wrap up the structured rounds around 8:30pm, at which point we encourage you to stick around, grab a drink, and continue your conversations!
• After the event, you’ll be connected with mutual matches so you can continue to build on the initial spark!

Access Notes:

• Our event space at Half Acre Brewing is wheelchair accessible. The primary event space is located inside the brewing area - please consider this if you are particularly scent-sensitive.
• This event involves frequent moving between tables and standing for periods of time; if this is difficult for any reason, just let us know ahead of the event and we’ll make a plan.
• For any other accessibility needs, please reach out to us at [email protected] before the event—we’ll do our very best to accommodate.
