Katies Staying Alive 70's Disco
2025-10-18 14:00 - 21:00
✨🪩 Katie’s Disco Farewell 🪩✨
As some of you know, Katie will be heading off to LA at the end of October—and we couldn’t let her leave without giving her a proper send-off! 💃
So we’re turning the brewery into a 70s disco paradise—because if Katie’s going, she’s going out with “More Than a Woman” and plenty of “Good Times.”
Katie’s been pure “Boogie Wonderland” to work with, and while we’ll “Stayin’ Alive” here at the brewery, we’re really going to miss her groove.
Let’s light up the dance floor one last time together—“Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough!”
Sorry for the dad jokes!
