ABOUT WHALES FOR WISHES
A bottle share is an event where each person brings beer to open and share with other attendees. Shares can be spontaneous or planned weeks in advance, and they range in size from a few close friends to large gatherings. Each year Whales for Wishes has hundreds of bottles of rare and hard to find beers that will be opened and shared with the attendees throughout the afternoon. Additionally, we'll be raffling off various gifts baskets, prizes, and rare bottles throughout the event.
Sign up for the Whales for Wishes newsletter to get notified when the raffles go live! We also have a habit of doing "bonus giveaways" to subscribers.
