That magnum... insane.

Really excited to get down there. Happy to meet up with any TB members over the weekend, just message me on here!
 
Amazing event. I had a lot of fun as a first timer. Really enjoyed the kegs and it was fantastic to hear that New Avenues smashed their goal of $50,000. Hopefully we hear the final number soon! Was glad to be a part of the money raising as well as the bidding. Nice meeting some folks there as well!

I saw 57,000 on Facebook, but that may have just been an estimate. Hope it's on the high side of that.
 
You all are amazing! We love you!

Every year it gets better and better, the support from our amazing volunteers, the sponsors, our wonderful brewery donations; they just keep stepping up the game.

And you all!!! You killed us w donations and support and wonderful bids!

I hope you all enjoyed the beer, the food, the auction lots, location etc... We are continuously striving to improve.

$57,000 is our current total and it might go up just a bit. This is huge for New Avenues and will go towards programs to help foster, homeless, and at-risk youth through education, job training, counseling and transitional housing programs. The awareness we have raised and the dedication from all of you is astounding. I am really touched.

Thank you, a million times thank you, all so much on behalf of Jeremy, James, Andy, Jessica and the entire NAfY family!

See you next year!!!!


If you want more info about New Avenues or want to know other ways to be involved please contact me.

Hands down my favorite "beer event" to go to each year. Don't know that I'll ever be told again that we need to hurry and finish a keg of Cantillon so that the Tilquin can be tapped for a gueuze and oyster pairing

Thanks! Also, I had just as much fun giving that announcement as you did hearing it. :)
