“Our team has been working hard on getting our music program launched at Broad Leaf and we’re thrilled to be partnering with Girls Rock! GR with this special show and benefit beer to get things kicked off on a high note.”

Broad Leaf will be releasing Girls Rock! the beer, a Nordic IPA with Citra, Sabro and Bru-1 hops, that’s fermented with Hornindal Kveik yeast. Girls Rock! the beer will be available on tap and in cans at the pub located at 2885 Lake Eastbrook Blvd. A portion of all proceeds will be earmarked for GRGR.

Staff from GRGR will have a booth set up with information about their program and will be available to answer questions. Grandville Avenue Arts & Humanities Chief Executive Officer, Steff Rosalez says, "Our work is about shifting culture in the music community for our kids and the future. Doing this work in community with venues and other musicians is so critical, and we are thrilled to be partnering with Broad Leaf Brewery and Spirits.”
