Fun at 5 hosted by NorthStar Restoration Services

This is a networking evening in a working nano-brewery, not a performance or a sit-down program. The ales are brewed on a five-barrel system right beside the taproom, and the brewery calls itself BJBC Station, a nod to the town's old train depot. Snacks and pre-prepared foods are available, and food trucks visit regularly. The patio and beer garden give you a view of bikers and walkers passing through town.

Networking in a taproom is looser than in a hotel meeting room, and the beer gives people something to talk about. Boulder Junction is a small town, so a gathering here is a good way to meet the people who run businesses nearby. The brewery keeps to traditional ale styles, which makes it easy for everyone to find something to order while they get to know each other.
