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!
