Introducing Friday Night Live
Friday Night Live Kicks Off March 13th
Winter at the lake has its own charm—quiet nights, cozy pints, and early bedtimes—but once March rolls around, everyone starts looking for a reason to get out of the house. The days run a little longer, the roads feel a little less icy, and the taproom starts to buzz again.
This year, we’re giving your Friday nights a new home.
Starting Friday, March 13th, we’re launching Friday Night Live – your Friday night spot for good music, good friends & great beer.
What is Friday Night Live?
Friday Night Live is our new weekly Friday tradition at Waganupa. Every Friday, we’ll have something going on in the taproom—most weeks that means live music, and other nights it might be an open mic, a laid‑back game night, or a special feature event.
The idea is simple:
If it’s Friday and you’re wondering where to go, you already know the answer.
Expect:
A fresh Waganupa brew in your hand
Friends around the table
Music in the background
A relaxed, friendly vibe that feels like Lake Almanor at its best
No tickets, no fuss—just a standing invite to end the week with us.
Why we’re starting it now
Our events calendar is already packed with things like Thursday Trivia, paint nights, and live shows from favorites like Michael Russell, Max Minardi, and more. But we wanted something you could count on every single Friday, not just here and there.
Friday Night Live gives you that:
Same night each week
Same cozy taproom
Always something happening
For locals, it’s an easy routine. For visitors, it’s a guaranteed way to catch some small‑town, lakeside community energy while you’re here.
What you’ll see on the calendar
Over the next few months, look for Friday Night Live events like:
Live in the Taproom nights with returning artists and new faces
Open mic evenings where local talent can get up and share a few songs or stories
Game and tournament nights when we feel like stirring up a little friendly competition
Each Friday will get its own listing on our Events on Tap page, so you can check what’s coming up before you head out.
Join us for opening night – March 13th
We’re kicking things off on Friday, March 13th with a taproom event you won’t want to miss. Check the Events on Tap section at waganupabrewing.com for the latest details, times, and any special guests.
Grab your crew, bring a date, or just come fly solo and grab a stool at the bar—either way, we’d love to see Friday nights become your night at Waganupa.
