“We always have so much fun in August during our anniversary parties with the art fair in our back alley and food pop-ups, so we decided to do one in spring! Mucha Salsa will be setting up inside the brewery with delicious Mexican cuisine, and later in the evening, Robert Rolfe Feddersen will take the stage at 7 p.m. Come for the art fair and tacos, stay for great live music! This should be a great night!” Nik & Ivy Brewing said.
