Live from Homewood, it’s Tuesday night!! 🍻

We turned the slowest night of the week into the one you don’t want to miss.

Two shows, alternating every Tuesday
Pick your game.

🧠 TRIVIA NIGHT — 1st & 3rd Tuesdays, 7–9PM
Free to play. Bring a team or build one at the bar. Know-it-alls encouraged. 😏

🍺 BREWHOUSE BINGO — 2nd & 4th Tuesdays, 7–9PM
Free to play. Grab a card and go for the prize table!! 🎉

🍺 Bonus: Every 5th Tuesday on the calendar, pints drop to $5. No trivia, no bingo, just a good excuse.

Doors open, questions or numbers get called, someone wins a gift card. Either way, better than another Tuesday at home.

📍 Homewood Brewing Company
🗓️ Every Tuesday, 7–9PM
🔞 21+

Tag your team. Save your favorite Tuesday. We’ll see you at the brewpub 😉
