The Drift
Beer Choir is a social singing event open to all, no talent required!

This month’s focus is on songs from our German friends as they kick off Oktoberfest!
Non-beer drinkers are also welcome—The Drift has a great selection of wines, cocktails and soft drinks. And if you just want to drink and listen, you’re welcome, too, but don’t be surprised when you end up joining in the singing. There is no cover charge.
