We will share fundraisers and GoFundMe links in the comments below. If you have one to share, please post it in the comments. Let’s help our neighbors, Sparta🤍

🎤 Tonight — Open Mic with Mike & Jason
Mike & Jason will also be accepting donations during Open Mic Night.
And in honor of Dolly, come sing us your favorite Dolly Parton song🎶❤️

🍔 Bun & Bite Grill will be here today through Friday, slinging those tasty burgers, wings, and so much more!

🎉 8 YEARS OLD! 🎉

Come celebrate LACONIA DAY with us on FRIDAY 🍻

We're turning 8 years old, and while it feels like a bit of an "in-between" year, we thought it was the perfect time to start a new tradition...

👕 Wear your favorite Laconia merch!

Looking through all the shirts we've made over the years got us thinking... how awesome would it be to see everyone rocking their favorite Laconia tees all in one place? Let's fill the brewery with years of memories!

No Laconia shirt? No problem! Homemade Laconia shirts are absolutely welcome 😄

🎉 Here's what we've got planned:
🍺 Discounted b**r for everyone
🌭 FREE all-beef hot dogs (while they last!) generously donated by Bun & Bite Grill
🎶 LIVE MUSIC | 6–9 PM
🎸 Red River Dawn
Your not-so-basic garage band bringing classic rock, country, and just the right amount of humor for a night of great music and good times!

We can't wait to celebrate 8 amazing years with all of you. Thank you for being part of the Laconia family—let's make this a birthday party to remember ❤️🍻
