March 23, 2019, Saturday - Smoke Signals BBQ Party 2019 at Insight Brewing

Time: 12 PM – 10 PM

Location: Insight Brewing, 2821 E Hennepin Avenue

Winter is almost over. Stop. Looking. Outside. Keep your eyes on this information, because on 3/23 we’re celebrating Spring with our annual Smoke Signals BBQ party. Beer, BBQ, bluegrass… spring starts when we say so. Here’s what’s on tap:

BBQ
Three BBQ greats. Two new challengers. One trophy. We’re no mathematicians, but that sounds like it equals some good grub.
- Minnesota BBQ Co. (returning champion)
- Clarin Family BBQ (challenger)
- Pig Approved BBQ (challenger)

BEER
We always make beer for you. But we made these beers just for you.

1:00 Mango Dankbot
2:00 Triple Shot Banshee Cutter
3:00 Dandelion & Elderflower Brut IPA
4:00 Strawberry Kiwi Lager
5:00 Smoked Chili Scotch Gravity Well

BLUEGRASS
Grab your banjoes. Scrub your washboards. Practice your yodeling. And then stop and leave it to these professionals:

2:45 Roe Family Singers
4:15 Wailing Loons
5:45 Dead Pigeons
7:15 Parachute Pandas
8:45 The Pistol Whippin Party Penguins

UP COFFEE ROASTERS
Naturally, our partners at UP Coffee Roasters will be serving up java all day. So you can get your buzz on in multiple ways.

GLAM DOLL DONUTS
Our friends at Glam Doll Donuts will be here slinging delicious donuts. Goes well with coffee or beer. We'd suggest trying both.

ADMISSION/ENTRANCE
The best things in life are free. Except for this party, which will cost $2 to get a 21+ wristband. If it makes you feel better, a portion of the proceeds is being dedicated to Community Emergency Assistance Programs (CEAP).

Kids enter free. But we still might ask them for I.D. just to see the look on their faces.

Please note, we will not be able to honor promos, samples or serve flights at the event.
