It’s a very relaxed, beginner-friendly afternoon where you’ll learn the tiles, the basic rules, and how a game actually flows. No experience needed and no judgment if you mix up bams and craks!!

Sunday, Nov 8 | 2 to 4 PM | St. Nick Brew Co in Du Quoin

$45 per person. All supplies are provided for use during class, so just bring yourself (and maybe a friend).

How to sign up:
Reserve your spot here: https://loom.ly/PAOqywk
Pay via Venmo: -Franklin

Your seat is confirmed once payment is received. Spots are limited so everyone gets hands-on time at the table!!

What’s next: Once we all have the basics down, we’d love to launch regular open play nights at St. Nick locations so you can practice, meet other players, and grab a pint!

No tastes, no flights, no growlers - once it's gone - it's gone!

Tomorrow night, Carl brings the HEAT.

Hot Poke a B**r Night is happening tomorrow on our patio, and we can't wait. If you haven't seen it before, here's the gist: a poker goes into the fire pit until it's glowing red, then straight into your cold b**r. It hisses, it foams, and it caramelizes the malt into something warm, toasty, and just a little bit magical. To our knowledge, you won't find this anywhere else around here.

Your hot poke lineup:
Wee Heavy
Cadence Porter
Oktoberfest
Night Rider Stout
Maibock

$7 for a hot poked 20 oz mug.

Our pick? The brand new Night Rider. Dark chocolate, espresso, toasted malt, and caramel get even richer with a red-hot poker in the mix, and a stout this smooth was made for a cool night by the fire.

Red-hot poker meets cold b**r. 🔥 Hot Poke a B**r Night is Tuesday, Oct 27, 6 to 8pm on the Du Quoin patio. Choose from five malty b**rs, $7 for a 20 oz mug. Come watch it sizzle.

Hot poking a b**r is an old drinking ritual: you heat a metal poker red-hot and plunge it into a cold b**r. The heat caramelizes the b**r’s leftover sugars, which brings out toasted malt, caramel, and toffee notes and builds a rich, warm, velvety foam head on top. It’s equal parts science experiment and campfire tradition.

Join us on the patio around the fire pit and see it (and taste it) for yourself.

Pick your malty b**r:

Wee Heavy
Cadence Porter
Oktoberfest
Night Rider Stout
Maibock
$7 for a hot poked 20 oz mug.

Bring a jacket, grab a friend, and watch your b**r sizzle.
