It’s fun to enjoy beer with friends and make things and chat about what fun thing you’re gonna do next, so come do all three with us this Saturday night!
Join us at our taproom this Saturday, December 14 from 5PM to 8PM for a Bamboo & Brew Aprés Ski with our friends at Bankstown Bike & Ski and Booyah Bamboo! Grab a brew, pick your pole length, basket color and grip color, and have your very own custom ski poles built onsite while you wait! How cool is that?! ICYMI Ski Land just opened for the season, so start the season in style with a completely unique-to-you pair of poles!
All pole materials are first come-first served, so get there early to get first dibs at colors and lengths! You can check out Booyah Bamboo’s website HERE and review the full event details HERE. See you there, then see you on the slopes!
Holiday Coloring Night TONIGHT
Grab the kiddos and your favorite BSBC brew for TONIGHT’s Coloring Night: Holiday Edition! This all ages event will feature holiday-themed pages for both kids and adults. We’ll have crayons and a variety of pages out on all of the tables, and when you’re done, feel free to put your artwork up on the fridge (our big cooler)! BYO food tonight, and we’ve got tons of non-alcoholic options for both kids and adults available. Happy coloring!
