Sourdough workshop with little owl sourdough
Saturday, May 9, 1 PM
The technique is easy to follow and my starter is low maintenance! You'll leave class with laminated instructions that we will go over in class, a starter you've fed, a loaf to bake at home (that you mixed up yourself) and the confidence to do it!
Plus you'll be able to purchase a delicious brew from Loveland Aleworks to enjoy during class!
Bluegrass Jam
Sunday, May 10, 3-6 PM
Come listen, come play, or do both. Our bluegrass jams are open to the public and free to attend—no tickets, no pressure. Musicians are welcome to bring their instruments and jump in, and listeners can grab a beer and enjoy the tunes. Easygoing, community-driven, and always a good time.
AMERICAN CRAFT BEER WEEK
PASTRY STOUT PARTY at Loveland Aleworks — happening May 11–17.
We’re loading the draft list with FIVE pastry stouts all week long:
🍫 Double Chocolate Oatmeal Stout

Basically dessert… but beer.
Physics & Foam: The Bioacoustics of Sound
Saturday, May 16, 2 PM
Speech is one of those things that you probably don't think about - you just do it. But how do we produce speech? Speech is sound, and we use over 70 muscles and 15 cranial and spinal nerves to produce that sound. Surprisingly, the way this all works is very similar to how many musical instruments work. Dr. Don Finan, from the University of Northern Colorado Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, will discuss how musical instruments and our own anatomy make sounds and how we can make duck calls talk! And yes, why we are talking tubes! Join us for Physics and Foam, complete with delicious beer, fascinating science, and trivia for prizes!

Whether you’ve read every page or just want to soak in the vibes, all are welcome. Grab a beer, bring your thoughts, and join a community of fellow readers for an evening of great conversation, good company, and even better brews.
Banned Book Club Meeting

This month we’re reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee—a powerful classic that confronts injustice, morality, and the complexities of growing up in a divided world. It’s a book that continues to spark conversation decades later… which makes it perfect for this crew.
Join us as we raise a glass to the freedom to read, think, and discuss openly. Come ready to share your perspective, hear others, and dig into a story that still matters. Great beer, bold books, and even better conversation await.
