This is a very special day for us and for you! Come join the fun as True North Ales rocks the TAPROOM, our three tented patios, and THE NORTH SIDE event room with our 8th AnniBREWsary party! 

 (For you trivia buffs, our first batch of beer was Squared Double IPA, brewed on Friday, October 13, 2017) 

 



 

Growler Hoisting Competition! 



 
Do you have the strength and technique to defeat last year's Men's Growler Hoisting Champ, William Maurice or three-time Women's Champ Sam Trullo?
 
Women's and Men's Events starting at 3:30pm 
  

As participants compete to hold a growler filled with water for the longest time, multiple competition judges will be monitoring their form. An infraction of any rule will result in a warning by a judge. An additional infraction will result in disqualification of the competitor.

1) Properly grip a 64oz growler filled with water, as demonstrated by judges
2) Hold your arm in front of you, parallel to the ground
3) Do not lean or sway your body
3) Do not bend your elbow
 
The winner of the women's and men's competitions will each win an award and a True North Ales gift card.
