In The Shadow Brewing

June is upon us, and starts the busy season downtown Arlington.

The month starts with a rousing game of trivia on June 3rd, with a guest score keeper, and a guest beertender, but Gretchen will still be here to run the game, and keep you entertained.

Then, we open up the Original Location for Summer Fridays on June 5th, at 3pm!!!
Find us there every Friday (except July 3rd), from 3pm-9pm, through September 4th. 19731 Old Burn Rd.

On Saturday, we'll throw some support to Salt of the Earth Food Blessing.
A new-to-us ITS Super Saturday charity providing food help for people in our community.

On June 10th, we host the monthly gathering of People, Planet, Pints, where an environmentally-minded group chats about the planet and sustainability.

We open at 10am for the Arlington Show and Shine, on June 13th.

On Father's Day (June 21st), there will be the first annual Arlington Smoke Out BBQ competition. See us at the taproom for more information. Smokin' Hot Events

We're hosting a soccer watch party on June 24th. The game starts at noon, so we'll open at 11:30. There will be special table decorations, provided by What's Bloomin' Now Floral & More, and cake pops by Simply Caketastic.

Later that same day (June 24th), we host the monthly Cribbage game. Sign-ups start on Wednesday, June 17th.

June also brings some great music at Legion Park, sunny Farmers Markets, High School Graduation, and the Senior Parade on June 5th at 6pm. High School Seniors celebrating their accomplishment in the best way Arlington knows-a parade! The event is both preceded, and followed, by music performed by some amazing young artists.
