Beer: It's What's for Breakfast featuring Founders Breakfast Stout
Where: Secco Wine Bar in Carytown
When: 10a to 2p this Sunday only
Fueled by the promise of stout and an inevitable late-afternoon nap, Secco Wine Bar will drag its collective butt out of bed two hours early to serve a very special Beer Breakfast. Acknowledging that 8% ABV on an empty stomach is a recipe for disaster, Sous Chef Mike has created a quartet of hearty breakfast entrees to supplement the regular daytime offerings. Get a complete menu and more details here.

We'll have a sign-up sheet for donation pickups courtesy of Moxie Movers. Batteries Plus is on board to take our collected batteries and electronics. Closet Factory is bringing a van for clothing donations. Junk Shuttle has joined us and would love your scrap metal and old appliances. Diversity Thrift will be there too, taking all sorts of other donations.
