A growler is simply a 64 fl oz jug of draft beer, hard cider, or hard seltzer. We (21+ only) will be playing games and drinking / trading samples of Michigan craft beer, hard cider, and hard seltzer from Michigan breweries and homebrewers. Newcomers welcome! You do not have to trade or even drink to attend, however, you do have to bring a growler (or two howlers or crowlers) of Michigan craft beer, hard cider, or hard seltzer. Where can you get a growler? We've included a list of local Metro Detroit breweries at the bottom of this event description. We recommend purchasing your growler (and keeping it refrigerated) no more than three days in advance. Please post what you're bringing in the comments once you know. The focus is on growlers of Michigan craft beer, hard cider, and hard setlzer but a 750 mL volume of Michigan mead or wine or even a fifth or pint of Michigan liquor is also acceptable if you don't drink beer.
The games we're going to play won't be set in stone in advance - we'll pick them together and go over the rules before we start. We have a growing library of 500+ games to choose from (https://tinyurl.com/2jfacxj9) but feel free to bring your own too if you like. Please park on the nearby side street to the Southeast called Irval Drive. No parking on the grass.
• What to bring
A growler of Michigan craft beer, hard cider, or hard seltzer, a cooler if you have one (with ice), whatever food you like for snacks and / or dinner, and anything you want to play that isn't in our board game library. Feel free to bring a personal tasting glass (or flight paddle) if you have one, if not, we have tasting glasses you can use. Please note there are no shoes allowed on inside (except medical boots) but you're welcome to bring your own clean slippers if you like.
Please do us a favor and join our Meetup Group (https://www.meetup.com/Metro-Detroit-Game-Night/), Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/MetroDetroitGameNight/) and like our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/MetroDetroitGameNight/) too.
