You are entering a world of FUN! Channel your inner Dude at this year’s Big LeBREWski Festival happening Saturday, April 19th!
“The Dude” White Russian Imperial Stout — our annual collaboration brew with Youngstown Coffee Company is back in cans and on tap. Hey, careful man, there's a beverage here! We teamed up with RAT Creative this year on some NEW LeBREWski 2025 Bowling Score Card Art rocks glasses — because, well, The Dude Abides.
We partnered with Westside Bowl and Havana House to make this year’s festival even more righteous. And as always, our homies at RAT Creative will be dropping fresh festival swag.
Early tapping of “The Dude” and “Walter Sobczech” with limited rocks glass inclusive happening Friday, April 18th at Westside Bowl. They’re planning to kick the celebration off right with live music from The Blue Collar Band Soul Review, bowling, Lebowski inspired pizza, happy hour and more.
