🇺🇸 Veterans Day: Battle of the Branches at 5x5 Brewing Co. 🇺🇸
📅 Saturday, November 8th | 🕐 2PM–8PM | 📍5x5 Brewing Co.
Who’s the toughest branch? The smartest? The strongest?
This Veterans Day, we’re settling it once and for all — right here at 5x5 Brewing Co.
Join us for Battle of the Branches, a friendly head-to-head competition between the U.S. military branches to crown the ultimate champion.
Each branch will field a 6-person team and face off in four events that test strength, teamwork, and grit.

🔥 Events
Pull-Ups (Cumulative Total)
Each branch sends up six participants. Every rep counts — clean form only. Totals combined for your branch score.
Push-Ups (Cumulative Total)
One minute per person. Full range of motion. Add up all six competitors’ totals to represent your branch.
Tug-of-War (Bracket-Style)
Army vs Marines. Navy vs Air Force. Winner vs winner. One branch walks away with the rope — and the bragging rights.
Military Spelling Bee (Hosted by Our DJ)
Think you’re the sharpest in your squad? Each branch sends a rep to the mic. Miss a word — you’re out. Last branch standing wins.
