What an uncertain, trying, and amazing six months it has been! Grain Theory knew they would never really get a grand opening (global pandemic and all) so instead they decided to just open the doors and see who came in. And boy, did you all show up. Big time! So they want to celebrate all the friends they have made so far and the supporters that have been behind them from the beginning.

This is your official invitation to the Grain Theory Block Party! They're shutting down the street, tapping special event-only beer releases, amazing food specials, food trucks, live music, outdoor games, local vendor's market, and more!

SATURDAY, JULY 24th

You can eat ice cream guilt-free as a kid.  But even as adults, we're not slowing down much. The average Americans plan to eat 39 scoops of it this summer.

A new poll found 1 in 5 adults still have an emotional response when they hear an ice cream truck . . . and our favorite flavors are chocolate, cookies-and-cream, and vanilla.

39% of people also said some of their favorite childhood memories involve ice cream.  Here are our ten favorite memories from childhood...

1.  Playing with friends.

2.  Spending time with family.

3.  Watching cartoons.

4.  Eating ice cream.

5.  A childhood pet.

6.  Going to the beach.

7.  Going to an amusement park.

8.  Going to regular parks.

9.  Birthday parties.

10.  Playing board games.
