  • Free WDBC glassware with the purchase of a couple stouts (while supplies last)

  • WDBC and Sardine merch raffles

  • Of course Sardine’s oysters and delicious food menu will be available

We’ll be giving away some merch from WDBC and Sardine (that’s right, Sardine has merch now!).

Pints with Purpose

Join us for PINTS WITH PURPOSE as we raise a pint to raise awareness about local nonprofit Waunakee Food For Kidz!

Waunakee Food For Kidz has been dedicated to fighting food insecurity right here in Dane County for two decades. Through the power of community, nearly 1,000 volunteers gather each year for a large-scale meal packing event, turning compassion into action.

To date, they have provided 4,692,778 nutritious, ready-to-eat meals to families in need. Each meal is thoughtfully crafted with a balanced blend of protein, rice, vegetables, and seasonings to support health and well-being. This year, Food for Kidz is on the verge is a major milestone: 5 million meals served to families who need them most.

Every beer sold at the event will do more than quench your thirst—it will make an impact! For this event, $.50 from each beer purchased will be donated by Working Draft to Food For Kidz. You can also add an extra $1 donation per pint to the cause!

In addition to that, Sponsor Zach Short of Automation Arts will be kicking off our fundraising with a generous donation of $500!

Gallery Night with Kasey Kuchenbecker

Friday, May eighth, is MMOCA’s Spring Gallery Night, and Working Draft is a stop you don’t want to miss.

Meet our current Artist-in-Residence, Kasey Cakebaker, and check out his art. Kasey will be selling his wares, from custom clothing to unique stickers.
