Canteen Brewhouse 30 Year Anniversary Party

Canteen Brewhouse (2381 Aztec Rd. NE) is celebrating its 30th anniversary. How is that possible? Well, the hop-heads at Canteen have been in the business of making “fly brews” since 1994. In honor of the achievement, the business is hosting a weekend of ’90s-themed events. On Thursday, May 30, at 6 p.m. it’s a Pre-Anniversary Party with Crazy Bird. On Friday, May 31, at 6 p.m. there’s a ’90s Game Night. It all comes to a head on Saturday, June 1, with Canteen’s 30th Anniversary Party. From noon to 10pm there’s music, games, giveaways, ’90s merch, food specials and plenty of beer on tap. There’s even a prize for the best ’90s costume! Music lineup includes Le Chat Lunatique (1 p.m.), Squash Blossom Boys (3 p.m.) Doso Dirtbags (5 p.m.) and Carli’s Angels (7 p.m.). There’s no cover charge to get in. Sunday, June 2, closes out the weekend with a Dirty Thirty Bloody Mary Bar from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
