The Juice Box offers: CRAFT BEER, FUSION FOOD, INDIE MUSIC, LOCAL WINES, and MICRO SPIRITS in their warm, inviting atmosphere.

Drinks are not included. You must be 21+ to consume alcohol, though this is an all-ages brewery and class (Recommended for ages 12+ for painting).

Come relax, paint with us, and discover how creativity (and beer) can help you unwind and reduce stress this weekend.
