Together With Resurgence Brewing

Ready. Set. Pumpkin Chug.

It might literally still be summer but mentally…we’re chugging beer out of a pumpkin at Oktoberfest. Resurgence Brewing’s Oktoberfest is bringing back the Pumpkin Chug on Saturday, September 26, where participants will fill up a cleaned-out pumpkin with beer, line up with fellow beer lovers, and down it all at the exact same time. And that’s just the beginning. Spend the day enjoying Oktoberfest beers, festive food, games, and all the fall vibes you could ask for. Plus, commemorative Pumpkin Chug shirts will be available for purchase, because obviously this tradition needs merch.
