Name: Trouble Brewing for Craft Beermakers
Start: 2026-06-23T19:00:00-05:00
Location: Bryant Lake Bowl & Theater

Twin Cities taprooms are facing stiff headwinds. The craft beer boom of the 2010s has been hampered by a global pandemic, fewer people consuming alcohol, and most recently, the disruption of Operation Metro Surge and the threat of THC regulation. Can our beloved beer scene weather the storm, or is the Land of Ten Thousand Lagers drying up?
Sit back with your beverage of choice and join us for an evening of imbibing and improv with Bob Galligan from the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild. Danger Boat's own Tane Danger will lead a lively onstage conversation about the state of the taproom, plus a few reasons to remain optimistic about the future of your favorite local watering hole. And our sparkling cast of improvisers will bring it all to life on stage with some comedic scenes they brew up on the spot.
Mark your calendars for an evening of great beers and great bits, and don't forget to tip your bartender!

"Imagine C-SPAN suddenly swarmed by the cast of SNL" —The Minnesota Star Tribune
A civic comedy institution is returning at a moment when people are overwhelmed by serious issues and exhausted by bad public conversation.
But what is The Theater of Public Policy (T2P2)?
- Shows open with a lively conversation with a newsmaker or policy wonk.
- That conversation inspires a team of Minnesota’s most talented improvisers, who create entirely spontaneous sketches based on the interview.
- The expert guest then answers questions from the audience.
- The show wraps with one last round of improv from the cast.
It’s a one-of-a-kind mix of learning and laughter — and each show only happens once. Join us for our 20th season full of thoughtful insights and dynamic performances!
