Win Tickets to the End of Everything Release Party

It's no secret that Detroit has been known for great music for decades now. One thing that Metro Detroit and Michigan as a whole have also been getting recognition for more recently is making great beer. This weekend, there is an event combining both of those things in one place.

Detroit Garage Project and Antithesis Brewing, along with Oath Distributing, are releasing their latest brew the End of Everything. The release is taking place next door to Third Man Records this Saturday, May 4th. The event will feature beer, swag bags, and live performances from HafLife, Fishgutzz & the Stinkin' Orchestra, Temple of the Fuzz Witch, and Carmel Liburdi. This is an earlier show, with things kicking off at 4:30 p.m. and wrapping up around 9 p.m. Cover is only $15, which gets you into the show and a sample of beer. Advance tickets can be purchased here.

Thanks to Abbey Productions, we are also getting one lucky reader and a friend into this show for free. To enter to win a pair of tickets, send your name to hipindetroit@gmail.com with #garage in the subject line. We will draw our winner on Saturday morning and will send them details on how to claim their prize.
