TONIGHT TONIGHT TONIGHT TONIGHT - Thursday April 16th
HopCat wants you to celebrate our favorite femented libation (a.k.a. beer).
HopCat is pleased to be teaming up with Celebration Cinema Grand Rapids North to bring you the local screening of BEER WARS!, an insider look at the business of beer, the big guys vs. the little guys, art vs. profit, craft vs. “craft-style”. This is a nation-wide, one night only event that should not be missed. For $30 (which includes your movie ticket) we’ll treat you like royalty (I know there’s a King of Beer’s joke somewhere in there, but I’m gonna leave it alone) with beer/appetizer sampling at the theater starting at 6:30 and a Q&A session with:
Mike and Dave from Founders Brewing!
Scott or Ken from Hideout Brewing Company
Fred from New Holland Brewing Company
Steve from The Livery.
Already have a ticket for the film but want to join the pre-party?
No problem, call 616.451.4677 - it’ll set you back $18.50.
We’ll also have an after party at HopCat starting…after the movie, of course!
Featuring beers from Dogfish Head and Stone Brewing Company
