Learn a little more about our VolunBEERS event: Our March VolunBEERS is dedicated to our four legged friends. Attendees will make no-sew blankets and toys for our furry friends at Rescuing Cujo. The mission of Rescuing Cujo is to help abused, neglected, abandoned dogs by providing them with shelter, care and affection until a loving home is found where they can live in comfort and safety. They do this by working with other shelters and rescues, and temporarily house dogs through their foster program at their facility in Jamul, California. They believe all dogs can be saved and provided with a loving home, no matter what size or breed. Space and supplies are limited, so we recommend buying your tickets early. General Admission is $25 for the Lassie ticket which includes project supplies + one non-alcoholic beverage. Drink Deals are $30 for the Scooby-Doo ticket which includes project supplies + one pour from Harland Brewing, or $50 for the Cujo ticket which includes project supplies + up to three pours from Harland Brewing.
