Already Got the Back-to-School Blues?

We know… school doesn’t even start until next week.
But somehow, you’re already thinking about backpacks, bedtimes, homework, lunch boxes, and getting everyone out the door on time.

So let’s forget about all of that for a little while and start planning your escape to the Biergarten at the Beach!

📅 Wednesday, September 2
📍 Biergarten at the Beach

Come enjoy a cold drink, good food, great music, and one last dose of summer fun before the school-year chaos officially begins!

Beat the back-to-school blues… one Biergarten at a time.
