Queers and Beers at Two Doors Down
Yas! Pride Week is here, y’all. And it’s definitely time to continue both celebrating and supporting our local LGBTQIA community via beer and burgers. And love. And good times. Head to Queers and Beers at Two Doors Down where they’ll be pouring over 20 beers and ciders from various local breweries from 8 to midnight this Thursday. And if pints of IPA from Outer Planet Brewing or a gluten-free pale ale from Ghostfish isn’t enough, Two Doors Down is also giving away t-shirts, glasses, and growlers throughout the night. Plus, there’ll be plenty of dancing to Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
