ABC's 11th Anniversary Party BACK TO TOP
Saturday May 31st is the 11th Annual Anniversary Bash and we are gonna kick things up a notch! We are closing off the street and throwing a party to be remembered. Consider this an open invitation to one and all.

Come enjoy our food, friendship, entertainment and brews a plenty, as we celebrate another year of proudly serving our adoring public and honoring Harrisburg's brewing tradition. We're gonna kick this baby off at 2pm with a free pig roast with all the fixings. All ABC draft beers are $3 all day long and there will be beers flowing outside too. The soon to be infamous Outhouse Races will start at 4pm. Sign up in advance and bring your best squatters to show your skills in a tournament style race to the finish. The winners will take home the accolades and respect of their peers as well as a pretty cool trophy.

That's just the beginning though, in keeping tradition of bringing the best talent around to our stages we have taken this years festival to a whole new level. The outside stage will feature Tom Hamilton's American Babies and Slim Fit. Later in the evening we have the one and only Mike Doughty! So turn your amps up to eleven, if they indeed go that far, because this anniversary bash is gonna go one louder!

If you want to sign a team up for the Outhouse Races, please pick up your application at the Appalachian Brewing Company Harrisburg. You will need three people to complete a team consisting of two runners and one squatter. Naked Outhouses are provided by ABC, but it's up to you and your team to trick them out for the event.  Be clever or be gone! You must sign up by May 24th in order to race for the glory and honor of the most coveted trophy in all of Central PA.
