This is an urgent public statement from beer manager jake:

"I wish to address the controversial lack of stouts and porters of late. This was an unintentional act on my part, and is in no way a reflection of my declining mental acuity. As an apology, please enjoy Double Goshawk Imperial Stout. It's wicked good.

I would also like to take the time to address some nasty rumors I've heard the media spreading. We do NOT have too many double IPAs, that is fake news and there is no such thing. This spring you will enjoy hoppy goodness such as Heady Topper & Dinner.

I would like to conclude by reminding everyone that Sour Girl Summer stock is at an all time high, and there's no better place to invest in some funky & wild Sour ales like the Gulu Gulu Cafe & Bar.
Thank you, and happy pride :)."

TLDR June 18th's Open Mic is going to be a little extra as we help our community.

We have Open Mic for the musicians of the area, and those visiting, every Thursday. But our Open Mic on Thursday, June 18th will feature some extra fun as we host for a fundraiser. Swing on by, jam with us, and/or listen to all the fun creativity that hits the stage, and maybe win Henny Penny's 50/50 raffle. 10% of all our profits that night go to Henny Penny Nursery School.
