Intro to Men’s Beach Week at Fortnight Brewing (Mar 19, 2019)

Has Men’s Beach Week sounded like a good thing, but for one reason or another, you just haven’t made it there yet? I had put it off for years, but I’m so glad that I am now a regular attendee. We’re having a very casual info session at Fortnight Brewing on Tuesday, March 19, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. Stop in, grab a beverage, meet some of the current beachgoers, and find out what goes on.
