Bottle Share
Fri, Aug 14 · 6:00 PM EDT
Tripping Animals Brewery, 3555 N Dixie Hwy, Oakland Park, FL, US
Do you enjoy trying new beers? Do you have any interest in the card game Magic? Both of those activities will be taking place at the same time at the Oakland Park beer garden location of Tripping Animals.

Beer Lovers will enjoy drinking beers and trying new varieties. If this is your 1st time, here is how it works. Each person brings 2-4 bottles of beer to share. These should be specialty beers and not beers that you pulled from Publix or a gas station. The other participants will be bringing bottles that were a special limited time release from a brewery or maybe some beers they brought back from another state and you can't find locally. So, if you want to enjoy the bottle share, you'll try some amazing beers, but you need to bring some stellar stuff yourself. IF you are a total novice, at the very least go to Total Wine, and then pull some bottles from their "Special Release".

Fans of card strategy games will enjoy a Magic gathering! Hang out with other players, bring your own Magic decks if you'd like, and be ready to battle it out.

These are TWO different events being offered at the same time and place so you can come to enjoy just one OR maybe it's your lucky niche and you'll enjoy both activities.

Pedro will be your host for both events!
