W.E. Love the 80s Night Party!

W.E. Love the 80s Night! 🎸

Saturday, April 18th, we’re throwing an all-day 80s party at Water’s End — and we’re staying open late until 11 PM to keep the party going.

For one day only, we’re REBRANDING the entire tap list with 80s-themed beer names, blasting nothing but 80s music all day, and rolling out 3 brand-new seltzer flavors!

🍹 New Seltzers Debuting - you’ll have to guess the flavors
Miami Vice, Summer of ’89 & Electric Ave.

🎶 Live Music (6–9 PM)
Duck Chuck Goose bringing a set packed with 80s anthems and helping judge the Costume Contest!

🍔 Food Vendor
Pauleen’s Catering onsite from 2–9 PM

🎁 Giveaway
Limited edition W.E. 80s logo stickers to the first 100 customers on the day - These just arrived and look so rad, like totally awesome!

👩‍🎤 80s Costume Contest
* Best Overall 80s Costume
* Arrive before 6 PM in costume to sign up
* 3 Winners announced around 9 PM

And one more thing… we might have a surprise BEER RELEASE ready in time. If it lands, it’s a big, bold favorite that hasn’t been on tap in a while. Let’s just say it would be a pretty fitting tribute to the night.

Dust off the denim, break out the neon, and come party like it’s 1989.

Beer Release: So Good, So Good! (Ales for ALS)

Beer Release: So Good, So Good! (Ales for ALS)

Available in pours, 32oz Crowlers and growler fills at the Lake Ridge and Potomac Mills Taprooms.

So Good, So Good! is a familiar rally cry that invokes togetherness, whether at the neighborhood watering hole or a sporting event.  Ales for ALS (Founded in 2013) is a partnership between breweries around the country and Yakima Valley Hop Farm to channel that togetherness into fighting for this great cause and building awareness for ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease. Every full-pour and 32oz Crowler sold of So Good, So Good! will generate a $1 donation to the ALS Therapy Development Institute and build on 6 years of Water's End participation.

Each year features a specialty hop blend curated by Yakima Valley Hop Farms and this year offers Mosaic, Simcoe, Krush and 2 prototype hops yet to be named. These fruit forward hops will offer a complex, full flavor that builds with each sip and lingers until the next. A simple malt profile and moderate bitterness provide balance while the hops lead the way. At 7.3%, this is a pale ale you'll want to make sure to bring home to share with friends.

Beers $4 Vets

  • Water's End Brewery (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Our favorite tradition is back for its 10th year — Beers $4 Vets runs November 1 through Veterans Day, November 11.

Here’s how it works:

🪖 Starting 11/1, customers can pre-purchase a beer for a veteran at a discounted $4 price (available through 11/7)

🎖️ Beginning 11/6, veterans can come in and redeem those pre-purchased beers in the taproom - 2 per day

❤️ After 11/11, any unredeemed beers will be donated to the TAPS Foundation, supporting families of fallen service members.

The TAPS Foundation (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) provides comfort, care, and resources to those grieving the loss of a loved one who served in the military. They offer counseling, peer support, and programs that help families heal while honoring the legacies of those who gave everything.
