6th Annual Free Community Thanksgiving at Delta Beer Lab

The taproom will be open from 1:00-7:00pm with food being served from 3:00-5:00pm.

This event is free to attend, with donations encouraged. Proceeds will be donated to one of their local community Nonprofit Partners.

Any leftovers will also be donated to a local shelter kitchen.

In addition, Delta would be remiss to not mention the dark history surrounding this holiday and the fact that we live on stolen lands. Their brewery sits on the original homelands of the Ho-Chunk, Sauk-Meskwaki, Peoria, Miami, and Sioux Nations. They choose to acknowledge this history, the true past, and the cultural richness that these peoples have shown and continue to offer to their community.

In celebrating this holiday they do not choose to celebrate the dark and brutal history that has attempted to wipe these cultures from the narrative, but are choosing to celebrate community, diversity, togetherness, and good food.

To quote the Sioux Chef Sean Sherman from his Time article [The Thanksgiving Tale We Tell Is a Harmful Lie. As a Native American, I’ve Found a Better Way to Celebrate the Holiday]:

"The thing is, we do not need the poisonous “pilgrims and Indians” narrative. We do not need that illusion of past unity to actually unite people today. Instead, we can focus simply on values that apply to everybody: togetherness, generosity, and gratitude."

Delta is looking forward to celebrating with you!
