EVENTS THIS MONTH AT THE BREWERY
Whether its celebrating a birthday, anniversary, wedding, retirement, baby shower, high school reunion or more we host dozens and dozens of events all year. Some, like Carolina Indie Fest and Brews Blues and BBQ, are larger and more planned. Others, like personal celebrations, are spur of the moment. Regardless of the reason we are ready to host you and your party - if you have questions reach out through our Google Business Profile, over Facebook, Instagram or email at info@huggermuggerbrewing.com and let us know how we can help make your event special.
March Events
Here's a listing of most all events at the brewery in March - you can get these delivered to your inbox every month by subscribing to our newsletter:
* we have two late February events of note - our monthly bottle share is on Wednesday, Feb 25th at 7pm. Bring vessels with your favorite beers in them to share!
* The second February event is on the last day of the month - don’t miss our Renaissance Fair on Saturday, February 28th from 1-8pm! Fighting knights, axe throwing, chainmail demonstrations, birds of prey, jesters, plague bags and nose gays for sale, giant turkey legs, mead, beer & actors looking to send you on a quest. It’s going to be a wild afternoon, I hope you’ll join us for it!
* Every first Sunday of the month is kicked off by yoga with Sanford Yoga & Community Center starting at 11am (next month the event is moved to the second Sunday - the 12th - due to Easter). Yoga is immediately followed by Stitch & B**ch where both stitching and b***hing are featured (stitching is optional.) This growing group is for anyone who wants to connect with others who are frustrated with the state of the world around them - not surprisingly there's a lot to share & it's done in a fun, and often even productive, fashion! This month Sanford Yoga has also invited Congressional candidate Paul Barringer to do a meet and greet at the brewery at 1pm.
* line dancing with Buckles and Boots is scheduled for the first and third Sundays in March starting at 2pm and running until 5pm. $20 gets you dance instruction, drink of your choice and social dance time. If you want a sneak peek at the songs you will dance to then check out that Buckles and Boots site. There are a LOT of returning dancers every month which speaks well to how it's organized and how welcoming, helpful and fun the atmosphere the event is.
* Tuesday night trivia gets a top spot in the event listing this month because trivia master Zach is paying out cash prizes to trivia teams this year & the opportunity to win starts this month. Between the first weeks in March and September Zach will be tallying team point totals to determine what teams will win cash prizes for first, second and third place. A certain number of lowest scores by each team will be thrown out (so you can miss some trivia nights and still qualify for prizes). Zach has the specifics, go see him on a Tuesday night at 7pm and learn more.
* Our Karaoke Championships at our First Fridays are starting to heat up! The belt awarded to our champion arrived and it's a beaut. In addition to karaoke, our First Fridays feature many crafty vendors, a select food truck and beer. Beer beer beer.
Here's how our karaoke championship works. Every month the audience anoints a new best singer & that singer is included in the Championship round at December's First Friday. Monthly winners get a Greatest Of All Time medal and the champions receive a bespoke WWF style belt after the big showdown in December. The belt is weighty, well-appointed and will ensure the winner is widely recognized and acclaimed for their accomplishments.
* our next book club meeting is Wednesday, March 4th at 6:30pm. The book we're reading in March is The First Witch of Boston by Andrea Catalano. Witchy anything is AOK in my book. Are you looking for a good read? We have many fine book sellers locally including Sips & Sequels, Monkeykat or Fulfillity Books in Hope Mills. Of course your local library always appreciates the foot traffic and those books are free (but they want them back!) Did you know we're getting a new library in Sanford? Read on ...
* speaking of books, our Grown Up Book Fair returns on Saturday, March 7th from noon to 6pm. If you like browsing books and crafty book items, author meet and greets and more then bring your favorite bookwork down to the event. We have three booksellers including Sips & Sequels, Fulfillity Books and Moss Kids Project bookmobile. Fry Fusion will be here serving up lunch through dinner.
* Retro Arcade Games return to the beer hall on March 13th and 14th. Level By Level Gaming brings the games and we pay so you don't have to. There are always games from several decades spanning from the '80s to present day - you'll find them in arcade and sometimes console format. I've seen a lot of people play but I've not heard of anyone getting on the leader board ....
* Dave Miller joins us on Wednesday, March 18th at 6:30pm to play some of his all original tunes. You'll see him at our place about once a month. Here's a good example of him at play.
* Music bingo is a new offering at the brewery - look for that every fourth Wednesday. Zach, our trivia master, is running that. I'm told music bingo is even more popular than trivia - come find out why on Wednesday, March 25th at 7pm.
* we also have a kickoff party on Saturday, March 28th from 2-6pm for the CSA box program offered by Pilson Farms (which may be picked up at the brewery every week). Expect a family oriented event including cookie merchants, face painting, garden activities for kids, a miniature cow and more. Adults will enjoy getting to connect with a farmer, fresh flowers for sale, gardening advice from Master Gardeners, a food truck rodeo, and beer. Details and a schedule of events to be published soon.
* This month's crafting adventures includes Crafts and Drafts on March 30th with Jessica Rigsbee of My Depiction Addiction. Jessica is pioneering a subscription based model for her programming which I think says a lot about her approach to innovation and listening to her customers. There will also be a craft night on March 20th with details yet to be announced as we go to press.
Our Facebook events page features most all of our events including anything I've missed here. See you in the brewery!
