How it works

Same bins. Legal beer.

Step one

Show up

Entry is free. No ticket, no order form, no permission slip. Just bring ID.
Step two

Fill the tote

Local presses, battered paperbacks, zines, stickers and one dollar bin that has ruined friendships.
Step three

Pay like a grown-up

No order forms. No begging a parent. Cards accepted at every table, and the taproom is open.
