2020 INDYpendent Local Craft Beer Festival
We invited 12 of the best local breweries to bring their finest concoctions to Durty Bull on Sunday, where our guests will taste them, judge them, and then we’ll all get nice and saucy and decide which ones we like best. (There is an UNCONFIRMED RUMOR that Bond Brothers will be debuting Fourth Estate, the insane quad they made to benefit the INDY Press Club, at the event, but this is just a RUMOR.) Hope Animal Rescue will be on-site with puppies for you to love on, and The Dankery will be serving up the fried goodness. No under-21s; advance tickets required (see below).

At this sixth-annual Winter Jubilee, a host of experts—fishers, oyster farms, and seafood advocates—will be on hand to answer questions about North Carolina seafood. There’ll be oyster steaming and fish frying, too, of course. The event will be followed on Monday by the eighth-annual NC Catch Summit, held at Transfer Co. Food Hall.
