Beer Choir – Planned Events


Join the choir that sings while drinking beer!

Join us at Devil’s Club Brewing Company to lift your voices (and glasses) in song. Encouraged by our song leaders, Richard Moore and Luke Weld, you’ll BECOME the choir that sings while drinking beer.

Grab a Beer Choir “Hymnal”—the songbook that will guide the evening—and a pint and get ready to join in on traditional drinking songs, popular tunes, hymns, and choruses. You don’t need to love choral music, or even sing well, to enjoy Beer Choir—all you need to do is show up!

We just became the first Alaskan chapter of the national Beer Choir organization – so we can continue bringing you beer choir festivities all year long! Cheers!

Friday, December 20 – Seasonal Nog
Friday, March 21 – Shamrock Jig
