WE’RE NOT JUST HERE TO BREW GREAT BEER; WE’RE GOING TO BUILD A BETTER COMMUNITY.
Every Wednesday from 5:00-7:00 the taproom hosts Tending for a Cause, our way of helping give back to our community. $1 from each pint sale and all tips are donated to local nonprofits.
Our passion isn’t just beer, it’s also our community. We may be the home of Tending for a Cause but it’s the organizations that are the true heroes. We wouldn’t be us without a you.
Since its inception in March 2017, Tending for a Cause has donated over $65,000 to local charities.
