TONIGHT: Join The AMAZING folx at Nod Hill Brewery to celebrate the release of our collab with Bellwoods Brewery, A Beer They Made!

This evening’s event will feature live performances on the Biergarten stage from Alexandra Burnet & MorganEve Swain , plus a pop-up market of LGBTQ+ vendors starting at 4pm, including:

Jewelry by the Strangest Places

Plants from Your Queer Plant Shop

Leather wallets & wearables from Beacon Craft Studio

Artwork prints [including some Nod Hill bottle labels] from our very own Kat Michaud

We will also be joined by the New Haven Pride Center & Apex Community Care, and we are also grateful for the support of the Aldrich Museum on this project.

We hope you’ll enjoy this spicy, zesty & refreshing 4.5% saison - we’ll have it on draft in the Biergarten and available in 4pk cans to go [you can order them now in our online store at www.nodhillbrewery.com]
