BLOKTOBERFEST 2019

Bloktoberfest 2019 dates are official and ready to be announced - this year it will be on Friday, October 4th and Saturday, October 5th. Get ready to sling some beer and brats and pretzels!

BUDDY BEER TICKETS

Moving forward, we’re changing the way our buddy beer program is currently being handled. BUT DON’T FRET - if you would like to buy a beer for a coworker to thank them/acknowledge them/high five them, you still can! You will now purchase a $5 card at either the Pub or the Tap Room (which can then be used at either location as well). These cards will be treated exactly like a standard $5 card (and will look exactly the same), so you can give change when appropriate and treat them like cash.

Pub specific details:

  • Bought cards will now live on the staff appreciation board downstairs.

  • Please check in with a manager to purchase cards.

Tap Room specific details:

  • The location of bought cards is TBD at this point, but please check in with K10 or Abrew for the exact location!

  • There will now be a $5 gift card button in Square that you will use to ring up the cards when someone wants to purchase them.

Please ask a manager if you have any questions at all!

STAFF ANNOUNCEMENTS

Welcome to a few new staff members at the Pub!

  • Jake Alred - Server

  • Andrew Farlow - Prep Cook (He goes goes by Farlow, FYI!)

  • Jarib Coleman - Host & Food Runner

Also congratulations to Lance and Addison at the Pub, who are moving up to Servers!
