Meat Raffle
Working Draft is hosting a Meat Raffle on a Sunday every month. Normally it falls on the last Sunday of the month, but with our 8th Anniversary next weekend, we pivoted and are hosting it Sunday, April 19th!
Starting at 2pm, our Meat Raffle is six rounds, $2 paddles per round, and features meat from Conscious Carnivore, which is quite exciting.
We love a good Meat Raffle, and we know that you do too!
Samba Night at Working Draft Beer Co
Join us at Working Draft Beer Co for a night of samba music and tasty food. Saideira Pagode will be bringing their Brazilian rhythms and we’ll have fresh, authentic Brazilian food as well!
Food service starts at 5 (and it goes pretty quickly!) and the Samba will fill the taproom from 7-9 pm. And of course, the WDBC taps will be flowing from 3-10 pm.
Working Draft Beer plus Brazilian food plus Brazilian music? Sim por favor!
Brats & Bloodys
We’re doing our Brats and Bloodys shindig on the second Sunday of each month. What’s Brats and Bloodys you ask?
All day we’ll be serving Jenifer Street Market brats cooked in WDBC beer and house-made Bloody Marys.
We’ll have a full bloody fixin’s bar, including house made pickles, cheese cubes, meat sticks, green olives, onions, celery sticks, brussels sprouts, asparagus, limes, lemons, and more. Build your own :)
And you know there will be WDBC beer chasers.
So come hungry and thirsty!
