Puzzle Champions!

2/1/2024

Congratulations to our first- and second-place finishers in our first-ever Puzzles & Pints competition on Saturday! Not only did they take home the puzzles, but they walked away with gift cards and bragging rights!

It was a fun afternoon watching all the teams puzzle away and capping off our anniversary week celebrations. Turns out this 500-piece tiger puzzle was quite a challenge, with so many areas of orange fur!

​Trivia Night continues this week, starting at 7 tonight. Hope to see you soon.

Read Anything!

1/16/2024

0 Comments

 
On this extremely cold day, we hope you are somewhere warm, where the only work you have to do is to work your way through a stack of good books and a Second Chapter brew. (Remember those Trashy Romance cans you hid from your relatives over the holidays? Are they still in your fridge?)

Finish a few pages and then plan to join us on Wednesday evening at 6:00 for our Read Anything Book Club! ---> https://fb.me/e/15eVKygQG

This is an informal monthly meeting as part of our "Books & Brews" series to talk about anything related to books. Bring a book to trade if you'd like.

I'm looking forward to sharing my thoughts on the first novel I've finished in forever. It was nice to read something that wasn't a children's book or a "How to Start a Brewery for Dummies" manual.

Stay warm!

Third Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m.
  • January 17
  • February 21
  • March 20
  • April 17
  • ​May 15

PS - Thank you to all those who brave the elements to keep the rest of us safe and snug at home!
