HOW IT WORKS: Register for the BRRR Crawl by December 7 to get your BRRR Crawl SWAG, which gets you in on drink specials and free appetizers and door prizes all night! On December 14, simply wear your shirt, and pick a starting point! We'll have maps and more info to send you as the event gets closer.
BONUS: Beer Cellar & Wine Cellar Raffle
Stock up for Holiday celebrating! The raffle works like this: bring a six pack of beer or bottle of wine (or both, if you want to enter both) and that's your first entry into the raffle.
