Celebrate us turning 12 on the 12th! We’ve spent a dozen incredible years brewing up great beer and good times. Whether you measure it in rounds, sips (roughly 4,383, but who’s counting?) or nights out, it all adds up to one thing—a big reason to celebrate!

To mark the occasion, we’re rolling out some extra-special brews:

  • Dodeca Dryhop – A bold brew dry-hopped twelve times for a hoppy explosion of flavor

No party is complete without great food, so Magoo’s Pizza will be serving up hot, cheesy goodness from 12–8 p.m. to keep your stomach as happy as your pint glass.

And for those who love to drink in style, we’re debuting a brand-new 515 Beer Glass—the perfect addition to your collection.

Plus, join in the fun with 515 trivia, 12-word toasts, and chances to win fabulous prizes, such as free beer and merch.

So clear your calendar, round up your beer-loving crew, and let’s raise a glass to a dozen years of incredible craft beer and great community! 🍻
