June at Tantrick: Summer's in Full Swing

June showed up fast - and packed a lot into a few short weeks!

First things first: it was hot. Really hot. Like my beer needed another beer hot! Luckily, we were ready for it. We added brand-new patio furniture just in time for the weather, and it’s already become a favorite spot for hanging out with a cold drink and good company. We also spent a good chunk of the month behind the scenes, canning and bottling a bunch of our beers, wines and, everyone's favorite, our blood orange seltzer to stock your fridges.

We kicked off the month by launching our summer food and cocktail menu! It’s packed with fresh new flavors, perfect for our new lunch hours, and even features our newest release of Tantrick Wheat Whiskey! With Fork in the Road food trucks back in weekly rotation, there’s been no shortage of delicious options to pair with your drink of choice.

On the events front, we threw our first-ever Music Bingo Trivia Brunch - and it was a hit. So much so, we’re making it a regular thing every third Saturday at noon. Come test your music trivia skills and your ability to hold a Bloody Mary!

Rolling on the River is back too, and it’s been awesome seeing everyone come out for the live music by the water. It’s the perfect way to wind down the week. To make things even better, we brought back our boozy Tantrick slushees in the SoDi shop, with new flavors every week!

Downtown Allegan got a boost from the season’s first antique fair, we had the chance to show folks a bit of the behind-the-scenes process during a production tour at the brewery and bike night is officially back on the schedule for Wednesday nights, too.

Another highlight: we officially joined the new Michigan Crafted Campaign, a statewide initiative to support and spotlight Michigan-made beer, spirits, and small businesses. We’re excited to be part of it and represent Allegan in the mix!

And while June kept us busy, we’re already looking ahead - our 7th birthday party is coming up on July 26th, and we’ve got a full day planned with live music, special releases, and plenty to celebrate.

For Gerald’s Beer Release? Let’s just say Gerald’s 7th Birthday Cake might involve a strawberry shortcake - inspired beer. More on that soon!

Thanks to everyone who came out this month, tried something new, or just stopped in to support us. See you in July!
