Brews for Barks is back! As most of you know, this event is one of Spot’s Last Stop’s biggest fundraising events of the year, and we cannot wait to share it with you (and your 4-legged besties)!
This year’s event returns to Bear Cave Brewing in Hopkins on October 5th from 11:30am-4:30pm. When you arrive at the brewery, go through the main doors, and take an immediate left (before the tap wall) and head up the stairs. We have the third floor brew hall and rooftop reserved for the event. There is an elevator on the other side of the tap wall by the kitchen, also to the left which will bring you to the third floor and rooftop.
Bear Cave is a self-pour establishment, which means you will need to show your ID and provide a debit/credit card in order to receive your drink card to be used at the tap walls on the main floor, third floor and downstairs in the Bear Cave. You can do this on the main floor host stand. You will be able to order food, non-alcoholic drinks, dog items, etc. from QR codes on the tables from your phone. Please ask the ladies at the front check in table if you have any questions.
Below are some of the fun things we will be offering this year:
• Bear Cave is hosting a special beer for us! Look for “Seeing Spot’s” at the taps!
• Dog friendly!!! We want to see all your furry friends from Spot’s or not!*
• Special edition pint glasses (8 years and counting)!
• Live music
• *NEW THIS YEAR* A Brews Bazaar to explore that includes a photo booth, doggie nail trims, caricature artist, permanent jewelry, and more!
• Kids activities (coloring contest, pumpkin decorating and more)!
• Ruffle prizes, silent auction, and cash ruffle to win up to $1000!
• New merchandise!
We are offering some pre-sale options again for you this year! You can purchase your ruffle tickets, $1000 cash ruffle tickets, and special edition pint glass all online before the event! But don’t worry, you will be able to purchase most of these items day of at the brewery, but please keep in mind we will only have a limited number of pint glasses at the pre-sale price so order now!
Come on out and enjoy the fun (with your canine friends) and support our mission to save homeless dogs in need.
Don’t forget to bring your dog as a plus one! *(please note dogs are only allowed in one indoor space attached to the rooftop deck, but you can bring them up the stairs to the rooftop as the exterior access isn’t paw friendly).
