LET’S HEAR IT FOR OUR GROUNDS CREW! 👏

The G.A.F. simply wouldn’t happen without these fabulous volunteers putting in long hours to get everything set up and ready for the weekend.

There’s a whole lot of work that happens behind the scenes before the first beer is poured, and we appreciate every single one of you.

THANK YOU for all you do! 🇩🇪🍻
