FOREVER TOM is not just an event; it's a gathering

FOREVER TOM is not just an event; it's a gathering of wounded hearts, incredible stories, and powerful melodies that keep Tom's spirit present among us. We're honored to have The Great Went, featuring the beats of self-evident's original drummer Brian Heitzman, playing one of their last shows and the etherial sounds of Lovely Dark, graced by the talents of self-evident's Conrad Mach and Ben Johnston as members. This night promises to be as vibrant and remarkable as Tom himself.

As the Sunday air fills with stories and performances, the stage is set to become a canvas of emotion, painting every chord and melody with the colors of bands from Tom's musical journey. It’s an invitation to immerse in the warmth of shared memories and the healing catharsis of music.

We call upon friends and family to come together, bearing smiles and vulnerable emotions, to honor Tom's extraordinary life. With drinks raised and voices destined to soar higher in song, laughter, and loss, we'll pay homage to the incredible impact Tom had on our lives and communities. This gathering is not a farewell; it's a vibrant celebration of who Tom was that will forever unite us in love and remembrance.

It's Wolves game day and Mother Nature's totally on our team with this killer weather for an al-fresco b-ball bash. Let's bounce back cuz you can't win in 5 without losing 1!

We love barleywine. Like a lot. It's a borderline

We love barleywine. Like a lot. It's a borderline obsession for us. We're stoked to roll out fresh batches every year at Open Season, our huge block party bash that signals the start of grill outs, bike rides, and endless warm-weather fun. Get ready to dive deep into the bold, beautiful and boozy world of barleywines with us THIS SATURDAY!

Meet ANCIENT OLD PAINLESS, a legend in the making. This beast of a barleywine has been chilling in Willet Wheated Bourbon Barrels for a whopping 18 months, soaking up all the rich, creamy caramel, tantalizing vanilla, fragrant allspice, and that delightful hint of oaky dryness. It's set to steal the show at Open Season, serving both on tap and to-go in bottles for your sipping pleasure.

Make it a full day of delight with us! Grab a bite from our selection of elite food trucks, groove to 5 cover bands in the FKBC Amphitheater, and lose yourself in the array of world-class beers on tap. Come hang with us and kick off the season in style!

Oh, it’s definitely time we got back to the good

Oh, it’s definitely time we got back to the good life! Open Season is your official pass to get the warm weather vibes rolling, and guess what? The incredible @pleezerband is back again, rocking our annual spring bash like they have every single year. Why? Because they bring the energy, the fun, and all the nostalgia you didn’t realize you needed!

These pros will have you shakin' booty in the FKBC Amphitheater at 4 PM sharp with all your favorite Weezer jams and deep tracks that’ll keep you dancing all afternoon. So rally the crew, grab a beverage of your choice, and join us on Saturday! The weather looks amazing.

We talked about White Whale bands for FOREVER TOM,

We talked about White Whale bands for FOREVER TOM, our Celebration of Life for Tom Berg. TRAINDODGE is THE White Whale. Here's one of Conrad's (Guitar Player in self-evident) favorite memories of TRAINDODGE - "The night before our first ever SE / Traindodge show at the Brick in KC, must’ve been 2003 or 2004, we (SE) were crashing at our friend Dave Gaume’s place and he put on the Lake of Dead Trees record to introduce us to the music of the ‘dodge. I think we were equal parts blown away, and almost… intimidated? We definitely knew we had to bring our A+ game to keep up with the mighty Traindodge"

If you want to see the band that made Tom and Self-Evident go "Holy shit. We need to tighten up" they moved heaven and earth to be here for FOREVER TOM, and are ready to blow your musical mind when they hit the stage at 6:20.

It’s go time, fam! The 2nd Round is here and we

It’s go time, fam! The 2nd Round is here and we are absolutely buzzing. We’re talking Draymond drama (you know he’ll bring it), Jimmy Buckets and the Wolves breakup saga, and oh yeah... that whole “passing on Steph TWICE” thing. This matchup is serving storylines on a platter, and we’re ready to eat!

Sure, it’s 8:30 on a school night, but let’s be real: the you that survived Jarrett Culver isn’t missing this moment. The vibes are immaculate and the crowd energy is contagious. Call up your crew, join us at the taproom, grab a beer (or other exceptional beverage) and snag your spot by the TV Truck.

Wolves in 4 until it ain't.

Alright, we finally know when and where the Wolves

Alright, we finally know when and where the Wolves are playing the 2nd round. BUT WAIT, A WOLVES GAME DURING OPEN SEASON?

Absolutely! We'll have the TV Truck ready for you to scream your head off after Ant dunks General Soreness into the 3rd row. Grab your crew, enjoy some cover bands and specialty beer releases pre-game, and let's party to the start of dope weather in Minnesota!

Wolves in 4 until it isn't.

Ignite your summer vibes with KARS FOR SKIDS, the

Ignite your summer vibes with KARS FOR SKIDS, the penultimate act of OPEN SEASON, our extravaganza celebrating the sun-drenched days ahead! This supergroup features members of Dillinger Four, Flintlock, and more, capturing the turn-of-the-80s magic of The Cars. It promises to be just what you needed!

You might think we're crazy, but you aren't going to want to miss the tight power pop tunes ready to shake the FKBC Amphitheater when they take the stage at 6:40. Bring your best friend's girl and let the good times roll!

When setting the line-up for FOREVER TOM, our Cele

When setting the line-up for FOREVER TOM, our Celebration of Life for Tom Berg, there were some white whale bands that we had the slimmest amount of hope could come from out of town and play. BEAR CLAW, a group close to Tom's heart but hailing from Chicago, was at the top of the list. And it's happening!

@bearclawchicago melts amps, crushes drums and doesn't need vocals to do so. You have to see them as they destroy the stage at 5:15. I promise you'll hear them and go "Yeah, no wonder Tom loves these guys."

Come be with others as we celebrate the life of and mourn the loss of Tom on May 11th.

Blow right through naptime and join us for Arreste

Blow right through naptime and join us for Arrested Development Trivia by @triviamafia this evening at 5 pm! Every question will be about the wealthy family who lost everything, with the one trivia host with no choice but to keep it all together.

Don't be a chicken (Ca-ca-ca-ca-caw!). Come on down and finish each others' ..... seltzer cocktails, as you play for prizes better than a dead bird. (I don't know what I expected.)

There's always catharsis in matching your mood to your music, right? FOREVER TOM, our Celebration of Life for Tom Berg on May 11th is sure to be heavy, spiritually and sonically.

If you saw @selfevidentmpls around town in the 00's, there's a good chance they were playing a bill with @buildings_band or @alignrock (also shoutout to ATWR), and it was LOUD.

We're throwing a rager as we mourn everyone's loss of Tom. Come share some hugs, memories, tears and laughter as we remember and celebrate the powerhouse of a person Tom was.

We've always known It’s a Long Way to the Top if You Want to Rock and Roll (thanks, AC/DC), but lucky for you, the climb ends right here with 20 Dollar Love, closing down Open Season on May 10th! If you’re craving epic riffs, head-banging vibes, and a night to remember, this is YOUR moment.

These legends are back, tearing it up with Bon Scott-era AC/DC bangers only—no fluff, no filler, just pure rock ’n’ roll energy! Forget the over-the-top guitar solos from later years; this is all killer, no filler. Get ready to feel every chord and every scream deep in your soul.

So grab your crew, snag a cold drink, and load up at some killer food trucks before the madness starts! The show kicks off at 8 PM sharp, and let’s just say... your face will be melted, your spirits lifted, and your night made.

As the sun smiles down and the breeze turns sweet,

As the sun smiles down and the breeze turns sweet, we're taking every opportunity to snag a Quiet Ride!

This liquid gold was born from an epic collaboration with our homies over at @barreltheory in 2022, and it's turned into the legend everyone keeps buzzing about. The Quiet Ride IPA bursts with a hoppy trio of Nelson Sauvin, Simcoe, and Idaho 7, crafting an irresistible fusion of classic American IPA bite with the lush, tropical vibes of a Hazy IPA, plus you can see through it! Not exactly what you'd expect from a couple of haze wizard breweries, right?

It's showtime TODAY at the brewery! Swing by for a pint or two of the magic, snag some cans to jazz up your journey, and hit up your favorite liquor store this weekend where Quiet Ride will be rolling in. Don't miss the chance to make your sips extra sunny with the return of this crowd-favorite!

There's been such an amazing outpouring of love and support in these past few weeks. We honestly cannot thank you all enough for carrying us in this truly awful time. Now, let's celebrate the incredible life of our dear friend Tom Berg together on May 11th from Noon to 8. We couldn't think of a better way to honor him than to throw a big party with all the things he loved the most, Music, Mac 'n Cheese and all of you.

We’re pulling out all the stops to make this celebration as warm and vibrant as he was. 6 of the bands he was tightest with will be rocking it out in the FKBC Amphitheater with family and friends sharing their stories between sets. We're bringing in some of his favorite restaurants to run a Mac and Cheese bar because food is love. And of course, we’ll be pouring your favorite drinks all day because that’s just how Tom would’ve wanted it.

Come share your favorite memories, cry and laugh, raise a glass, and soak up the love that exists for Tom with us. Tom was known to bring people together—let’s keep that legacy alive and celebrate the joy he gave us all. Everyone’s welcome here, and we can’t wait to see you.
