Thanks to everyone who comes out to the Casual Pint Northshore. We appreciate everyone who comes out to enjoy craft beer, the social atmosphere, and the family environment. We wanted to outline some great changes to our lineup of fun events.
Bingo is our most popular event and we have seen growth of participation from you and from the breweries who sponsor us. That being said, we have continued to give away free beer swag/gear and free beer to winners. Due to the nature of the prizes, we need to modify the Bingo participation requirement. So beginning on Thursday, July 21st you must be at least 21 years old to play Bingo. We love having kids and families come out for Bingo, but we realize we are selling and giving away beer related items, so this is the best approach for all of us.
Trivia is on the way! We heard you loud and clear and are planning a weekly Trivia night (possibly Monday nights) that will start soon. Watch for details. We will have the 21+ age requirement for Trivia as well since we will have great beer related prizes.
Now for the families that visit the Pint, we are working on a monthly “Family Game Night.” With school starting soon, we know getting out as a family is more difficult, so we are planning to hold a monthly Family Game Night. We can play Bingo, have trivia, and play general board games. We will have special prizes more aligned to families (free Soccer Taco meals!, kid prizes, etc.). Again, watch for details.
Thanks again to everyone and we hope with Bingo, Trivia, and Family Game Night, the Casual Pint Northshore continues to offer you great craft beer and a fun environment.
We are excited to feature Highland Brewery and their great beers during the month of May. We have great specials, events, and even a raffle that makes the entire month a great feature.
Mountain Beers on Tap: We will have 3 Highland brews on tap all month, watch for specific specials.
Mountain Medley Monday: On each Monday in May get 4 Highland bottles from our cold case and a bucket of ice for $10. A great deal for great beer!
Highland Raffle: Buy a pint and get an entry into the raffle. On June 1st we will select a winner of a Highland Brewery tour and a gas card to cover gas to and from Asheville.
Fun Activities: Look at our web site and social media for other fun events including, Bocce Ball, Horseshoes (plastic horse shoes!), ring toss game, and sidewalk chalk for children
