On Saturday, September 3rd we’re very excited to be a part of the Art of the Brew beer and art festival for the second year in a row. We attend a lot of beer festivals that are lots of fun, but this is without a doubt the most unique one. Dozens of local artists are paired up with Texas breweries who collaborate on a beer and a piece of art. The event is FREE to attend, though it is a fundraiser for Co-Lab Projects so donations are encouraged. 

For our donation to the event, we’re actually setting up and running a DUNK TANK. You can dunk our owner Jody Reyes as well as a whole bunch of other artists, brewers and all around ruffians. The dunk tank will run from 4-8pm. There will be free beer, live music (including local rockers A Giant Dog as the headliner!), plenty of art to view and food trucks. Don’t miss this one of a kind event! More details can be found here. 

Free In-Store Tastings – All 6-8pm
