January Events

That's not all that's happening, here's a listing of most all events at the brewery in January:

* It's karaoke twice in a week with Gilbert Baez on New Year's Eve and BowTie Entertainment at First Friday Karaoke Night.

* line dancing with Buckles and Boots is scheduled for the first and third Sundays in January starting at 2pm and running until 5pm.  $20 gets you dance instruction, drink of your choice and social dance time.  That Buckles and Boots linked site is where they posts all the songs you will dance to.  This always is a well attended event and beginners are always welcomed.

* Every first Sunday of the month line dancing is preceded by yoga with Sanford Yoga & Community Center starting at 11am.  This 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 share their current frustrations with the world around them - not surprisingly there's a lot to share & it's done in a fun, and often even produuctive, fashion!

* Come help us celebrate our 8th anniversary with a Renaissance Fair at the brewery on January 23rd and 24th.  Things kick off with a free-to-you contra dance on the night of Friday January 23rd and many many other attractions on Saturday the 24th including fighting knights, live music, a chainmail demonstration, mead, giant turkey legs, costumed actors looking to send you on a quest, axe throwing and more.

* how will YOU dress at the Ren Fair?  How about a bespoke wizard hat?  Marilyn with Get Under My Skin - Unique Custom Clothing & Accessories will be running a Make Your Own Wizard Hat class on Sunday, Jan 11 from 4-7pm.  Tickets and info here.  Marilyn is a bit of a wizard when it comes to sewing and she will step in and help you execute a design if you aren't able to do it yourself.

* we've got a growler buyback promotion running from January 1-15.  Bring your gently used Hugger Mugger Brewing glass growler between these dates for a credit on draft beer!  The wording and branding on the growlers must be clear and easy to read & if we can't get it clean then it's going back home with you.  $3/growler exchanged and that credit is only to be applied toward draft beer by the glass or in growlers.  Credit does not extend to merchandise, bottled beer, tips or anything else.

* Got a big brain?  Every Tuesday is Trivia Tuesday - trivia master Zach is emailing out hints and clues the day of the event to tease our contestants.  Things kick off at 7pm each Tuesday, is your brainpan ready to sizzle?  Winners enjoy the brewery paying for their tab.

* our next book club meeting is Wednesday, January 14th at 6:30pm.  The book we're reading in January is JK Ellem's "A Winter's Kill".  Looking for a book?  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!)

* got an itch for something crafty?  Try our monthly Crafts & Drafts with local artist Jessica Rigsbee.  This month on Friday, January 16th she's leading a vision board class which sounds perfectly appropriate for a month of resolutions.  Full info and tickets may be found here.

* Turn that black thumb of death into a green, thriving thumb with our Bier Garten Garden Club led by Lee County's NC Cooperative Extension office. These meetings are free and open to the public on six Mondays throughout the year from 6:30-8 p.m. The club meets this month on Monday, January 19 with the topic being "Soils of Lee County".

* Retro arcade games return on the last weekend of the month Friday the 30th (3pm+) and Saturday the 31st (all day).  Level By Level Gaming bring the games and we pay so you don't have to.  Expect games from several decades spanning from the '80s to present day - you'll find them in arcade and console formats.  Dave & Busters has got nothing on us!
