It's finally here... our September Food Truck Friday is just about here. Kick off you weekend properly by coming out to the taproom on Friday for great food, great beer, and great music.
This month we have two excellent food trucks:
-- Bleus Burger
-- Tin Tin's Rock N Roll truck (freshly painted)
The beer is going to be a good one too, as we've decided to honor Patrick Swayze on the day of his death. The beer release this time is a double brown ale we're calling Double Deuce (side note, Roadhouse is one of the greatest movies ever made).
And last but not least, we have a band from Tallahassee called Brown Goose coming in for their debut at the brewery. These guys have a really good sound, and we're sure they will put on a great show.
Join us!
If you love bluegrass, then we have a really fun monthly activity for you! Stop by at 6pm on the Third Thursday of each month with your instrument to pick a little with some other talented folks. And if you don't play, come on by and let to these guys entertain you with some spontaneous jams.
The Marlow Boys are back in the taproom on Saturday, September 22! You know it's going to be a great show from these guys, and there is no charge to come in and enjoy the music.
We'll have a food truck on site as well, plus a bunch of great beer!

For the past five Decembers, Fairhope Brewing has invited familiar faces from around the Bay Area to serve as guest bartenders and raise money for local charities and nonprofit organizations through tips and donations. To date, our holiday tradition has raised more than $20,000 and we are hoping to make our 5th year the best yet!
This year you’ll recognize our bartenders from local radio shows, city government, Sunday sermons, and community environmental activists.
They’ll be working hard to raise funds and awareness for organizations like the Fairhope Education Enrichment Foundation and Mobile Baykeeper. It is quite a motley crew, but what else would you expect from the crew at FBC? Where else can you see City Council members and Catholic Priests coming together to pour beers?

Cheers!

The second Tuesday of every month we're inviting local non-profit organizations to the taproom to share their mission with the community. We love serving our community and are always donating and supporting events off-site. We thought this would be a great opportunity to allow some of those groups we are involved with an opportunity to share their message with our FBC family right here in our taproom.
First up, we have the Fuse Project. Known best for their annual Dragon Boat fundraiser, this organization has awarded more than $300,000 in funding to local organizations who are changing the game for our children since 2012. Every child should have an opportunity for success, and they're bound and determined to make that happen.
We will be donating a $1 per pour of beer all day to the Fuse Project and a member of their team will be on hand at the taproom at 5:30 to tell you a little bit more about their mission, upcoming projects and how you can get involved.
It's a great reason to swing by the taproom and have a beer that day for a good cause or make plans to be here to meet their team after work and learn more about all the good stuff they are doing in our community.
To learn more about Fuse Project check out their website www.fuseproject.org.
Join us for our May installment of Food Truck Friday! We'll have live music with the Grundy Family playing all your classic rock favorites. And since you will be hungry, we'll have Tin Tin's Rock N Roll food truck and Good Guys here getting you all the deliciousness you need!
