The idea is simple: we get a lot of beer, happy people and the best lobster the city has to offer and chill in the park for the afternoon. 2017 was our first event and it sold out in two hours so we did it again, and now again! 7,000 people came through last year, so come out and grab a lobster roll before they’ve all been taken and kick back in the grass with a ice cold Hokkaido Beer!
EVENT DETAILS
