Swamp Head Brewery, Gainesville’s first craft brewery, has filled a plethora of cans lately. First, the brewery released four new canned beers last week, and now Swamp Head has promised twelve new beers for their Adult Trick-or-Treating event on October 25th.
From Swamp Head Brewery:
Every year around this time we gather at the brewery to do some adult-style trick-or-treating. Except our treats aren’t candy, our treats are candy-inspired beers, dreamt up by our brewers and available only for one very spooky night.
This year we’re taking you on a little trip back to Hawkins, Indiana, 1983. Travel around the brewery, trying candy beers at all four themed pouring stations. There might even be a surprise for those of you who manage to trick-or-treat at every pouring station! (See glassware details below).

-Parking is limited, we highly recommend using Uber/Lyft or carpooling.
-This event will be busy, so feel free to bring your own lawn chairs to use outside.
-Can sales will take place at both the main bar and at Station 4 near the exit (so you can grab some cans on your way out!)
-We love pups, but we highly recommend that you leave your furry friend at home for this event. There will be large crowds, loud noises, fog machines, and other potentially stressful situations for dogs.
Please check out the full event details before heading out, as Swamp Head has included a lot of information about the event, including a map of beer locations.
