Silent Disco to launch Canvas Brewing Co. limited release Better Together Lager
Friday, May 24th (not the long weekend)

Canvas Brewing Co.
Doors open at 8pm
Tickets are $45 (includes wireless headphones, mocktail, glow sticks and gourmet pizza bar partway through the night) and can be purchased.

Get ready to groove and celebrate inclusion like never before! Community Living Huntsville is teaming up with Canvas Brewing Co. to brew up some serious fun with the Better Together Lager, a limited edition beer that’s all about unity!

And how do we plan on launching this epic brew? With a silent disco extravaganza, of course! Join us at Canvas Brewing Co. for a night of dancing under the stars (or maybe just some cool brewery lights). But here’s the twist – instead of blasting tunes through speakers, we’re handing out wireless headphones with THREE different channels! You can jam out to the live DJ, throw it back to the ’80s and ’90s, or get down with some New Country vibes.

But the real magic happens when you see everyone’s headphones lighting up in a kaleidoscope of colors based on the channel they’re tuned into. It’s like a silent disco rainbow! And guess what? You can easily spot others grooving to the same beats as you, so you can instantly connect with fellow party animals who share your killer taste in tunes.

So, let’s raise a glass (or two) to community, inclusion, and the joy of dancing like nobody’s watching (because they can’t hear the music anyway)! Come join the party and help us celebrate this brew-tiful new creation that’s all about bringing people together in the most fun and funky way possible. See you on the dance floor!
