“Love
Exciting & New
Come Aboard
We’re Expecting You”

No life jacket required in this vessel, baby!

Join us as we set sail on the SS Partio with Cruise Director Adam Luessen of Tattersall Distilling and Captain Stephen Davis of Surly Brewing. These fine chaps will be pouring the exclusive primo potables from 7-10, but the after party continues down in the hull from 10 to question mark. 

It gets windy out there on the open seas, so tie a sweatshirt around your shoulders in case you get chilly. We are very relaxed with the dress code, but country club casual is the preferred attire. Music Director Ken Hannigan will keep the party going all night long, with just enough Doobies to keep us all high (if you know what I mean). The Hi-Lo Rave Posse will be providing the finest entertainment money can buy, and don’t worry, this one’s on us. 

This is the final Rappour voyage of 2017, so don’t get left standing on the dock.

We had such a fun time at our first annual Hi-Lo’s Wonderland, a celebration of classic Americana during Open Streets – East Lake! Seriously, so fun.

We took over our corner of East Lake Street for a day reminiscent of yesteryear. Think back to the good ol’ days where you’d pack up the truck each summer and head on down to the county fair. Music, food, drinks, classic cars, games, a pie eating contest, etc.

We partnered up with Blue Door Pub to fuel the festivities with Blucys and diner fare! Indeed Brewing’s beer truck was there to quench the thirst of all our Wonderland wanderers and we served up our yummy tap cocktails.

Thanks so much to all of the pie eating contest participants!

And the music was so amazing all day long.
