A great mix for homebrewers, craft fans, and anyone who likes variety in their calendar.

Our brewery was built on one mission: building up our community. We wanted to bring people together. Get neighbors talking. That's why we don't have sports games on TV. It is why we have 12 ft. long picnic tables. It's also why we are planning this epic event.

This is the way we kick off Kalamazoo Craft Beverage Week in 2026. We are hosting a Speed Friending event! What's that, you ask? Let's start with what this is not. It is NOT a speed dating event. If a romantic interest were to form as a result, we will cheer it on, but this is an event to make new friends. This is the easiest way for you to try getting to know somebody you do not know today.

We have been bringing people together for a long time, and know exactly what to do to make things easy for you to find common ground with somebody else. Starting with some icebreaker games, your little introverted self can feel like you already feel comfortable around these people as you engage in our guided journey to connect people in our community.

Here's the thing- the event is FREE! But we need to make sure we have enough people. An event like this does not work if there are only 4 of us there, so we need you to sign up!

Click on the link below to put yourself on the list. We cannot wait to see the connections formed and what they will become!
