We have a ton of cool stuff planned, so keep scrolling to see it all.
Not-So-Obvious - October 22 (Every Thursday)
Are you ready to play Not So Obvious? This half-trivia, half-Connections style game is a great way to tease your brain while having some fun!
Your team competes head to head against other teams are you race to be the first team to figure out what a list of words shares in common - but it's not so obvious! A list of foods hides another shared trait that you have to figure out, for example. Eight rounds are played every week along with a special bonus music round as you compete for great prizes, discounts, merchandise, event tickets, and more.
Every Thursday Night through December at 6:30 PM. Hints and previews posted on our socials every week! Free event - no ticket or registration needed
October 22nd - 6:30 pm

Horror Movie Trivia - October 23
Gather your fellow horror fans (4 to 6 per team) and prepare for a one-night-only trip through the world of horror movies. Across multiple rounds of trivia, musical moments, fill-in-the-blanks, creative team challenges, and even a little physical fun, you’ll put your horror knowledge to the test.
Whether you’re a casual fan who enjoys a good scare or the person everyone calls when they can’t remember the name of that one obscure slasher from the ’80s, there’s something here for you. You’ll laugh, scream, argue over the details, and maybe question whether splitting up was really such a good idea. Costumes are welcome (and encouraged), and prizes await the top 3 teams!
So grab your bravest friends, leave the lights on, and see if you have what it takes to survive the night!
The event is an in-person event and takes place at our 23 Petticoat Lane Tap Room location. Ages 21+ only — not suitable for minors.
October 23rd - 6:30 pm
Chrome & Cider Auto Show - October 24
Come wander through the orchard and check out some antique cars from the Belltown Antique Auto Club. Talk with their owners and enjoy a glass of your favorite Yankee cider while you take it all in. Whether you know the difference between a '57 Chevy and a '57 Ford or your car knowledge begins and ends with “that one is really cool,” there's something about seeing these beautifully preserved pieces of automotive history up close that makes for a pretty great afternoon.
We’ll even have G-pa’s Pizza truck onsite in the afternoon so you can grab a bite to eat after walking among the cars.
If you've been looking for an excuse to get out and enjoy a little fall weather, consider this your excuse. And if you've got someone in your life who can spend an unreasonable amount of time admiring an old car, you should probably invite them too!
October 24th - 1 to 3:00 pm | Rain date: Sunday, October 25
G-pa's Fired Pizza Truck - October 24
Pizza and cider is a perfect pairing, and G-pa's Fired Pizza Truck has you covered on Saturday, October 24th.

Grab a glass of cider, a slice of pizza, and settle in around the campfire for a fun and delicious afternoon!
