Song Swap at Black Dog Vinyl Cafe in Plainfield, IL with special guest Nick Wiesner and host Jason Benefield
Calendar
Ten years ago we poured our first pint. Since then, every batch we've brewed has been shaped by the artists, makers, and creative weirdos who've kept us inspired along the way — so this summer, we're throwing them a party, and you’re all invited!
Seven (7!) musical acts will keep the vibe up all day, while a crew of live artists turns the brewery into a working studio: get inked by a tattoo artist (3-6pm), decorated in henna (1-4pm), or sketched by a caricature artist (1-4pm) who'll capture the details that make you unique in both print and digital form!
Watch a linocut printmaker pull fresh prints by hand, or get your tote bag or bag tag embroidered on the spot. Kids can catch a marionette puppet show (at 1pm and 3pm), and our talented juggler will keep things light by twisting balloons into crazy shapes for anyone young at heart (3:30-6:30pm).
Musical acts include:
- Cheryl Rodey
- JD Kostyk
- Jukebox JBC
- Matt Alfano
- Billy Denton
- Echo & Ransom
- Shukin and the Ramblers (inside at 7pm)
Food is art, too! We'll have:
-- TamalesPlus from 12-5pm
-- Li'l Greek Kitchen from 2-6pm
-- Grumpy Gaucho empanadas from 3-9pm
-- Toby Dawgs for late-night eats from 7-10pm.
And, of course: BEER! We'll be full up on all your SKB faves, including a new Gufo hazy, Friends Don't Lie APA, Migratory Coconut Ale, a Bohemian Pils brewed in collab with Pierce Tavern, a Light Lager brewed with our mug club, and more!
Your $15 ticket nabs you access to all this fun stuff and a collectible aluminum cup featuring original art by Ashleigh Road’s Matt Pennetti — PLUS your first beer (or cider/seltzer).
DD tickets are $10 and include a collectible cup and your choice of an N/A beer or soda + unlimited lemonade.
Children’s (ages 3+) tickets are $5 each and include unlimited lemonade in regular plastic cups.
Due to the interactive and indoor/outdoor nature of this event, we kindly ask that you please leave any pets at home.
Mug Club members and their guests get in an hour early at noon (with a special musical act to kick things off!), and everyone else is welcome to join the fun starting at 1pm.
Camp chairs are permitted, coolers are not.
Ten years of beer. A decade of art. One big SKELEBRATION!
