Special Events
Everyone’s favorite place to hang out; where making meets mingling.
Pour Your Own BEER CAN-dle @ Axemann Brewery (May 11th)
She loves candles. She loves brews. She deserves both this Mother’s Day. 🕯🍺💐
Swing by @axemannbrewery on Sunday, May 11 between 4–6 PM for a hands-on candle-pouring pop-up with The Rivet — no registration needed, just drop in and pour!
✨ Choose your scent and pour your own custom candle into one of Axemann’s iconic beer cans (or another container if that’s more your style).
💵 Just $10 per candle while supplies last!
🍻 A perfect activity for adults or families with older kids. Not a drop-off event — grown-ups must stay and work alongside any younger makers.
Craft something meaningful, sip something local, and make it a Mother’s Day to remember.
Whether you’re celebrating Mom, hanging with friends, or just love a good hands-on project, this drop-in event is for YOU.
