Program Description

Event Details

Let’s be honest—even if you wanted to, you couldn’t spell the word “Bee” without using the letter “B”! That’s just science, folks! As such, the “T-I-M-E” to partake in a bit of friendly “C-O-M-P-E-T-I-T-I-O-N” while indulging in a couple of quality micro-brewed beers (should one so choose to) is upon us again: “Brew ‘N Bee IV: You Can’t Spell Bee Without ‘B!’” Manitowoc Public Library and PetSkull Brewing Company, LLC, will join forces to present this annual orthographic scrum in PetSkull’s outdoor Beer Garden on Wednesday, July 24, at 6 PM. As before, this will be a Single Elimination event, so if you spell a word wrong, you’re out!

However, “Cheats” will again be available for purchase beforehand the day of the Bee to help keep you in the competition should a misspelling occur. A $20 participation fee will be associated with the Brew ‘N Bee and registration is required. It should be noted that all proceeds from the purchase of Cheats and the registration fee (once minor expenses are met) will be donated to Friends of Manitowoc Public Library. It should be further noted that PetSkull Brewing will be generously donating the entirety of their portion of the registration fee to the Friends of MPL!!! Can you spell “A-M-A-Z-I-N-G”?!

Space is Limited! Registration opens at 9 AM on Monday, June 17, for Adults 21 and over only. Full rules for “You Can’t Spell Bee Without ‘B!’” will be contained within the registration packet. PLEASE NOTE: While registration for this event takes place online, payment of the $20 Registration Fee must be made at PetSkull Brewing Company IN CASH prior to the start of the Brew N’ Bee on July 24.
