Join us August 23 from 3-7 for the second GCBA event, The Summer Session! We’re celebrating outside by low ABV lounging with session beers at 5% and below from local breweries. Join us at the southeast corner of Grandview and Goodale for a lazy Saturday afternoon of drinking, food trucks, outdoor entertainment, music and more.
