Aaron McCall spoke with about the Bad Idea Social Club / City Built Brewing Company beer collab, the podcast, and the Bad Idea Social Club Art Market & Beer Release, and we are so damn excited and nervous and thrilled and are just having all the emotions.

“Honestly, I’m just excited to be in that room with that energy.”

Remember, the first 30 people to check in with the BISC crew get a free koozie with the Bad Idea Social Club West Coast IPA artwork on it. And the rest of the merch we’ll have on-hand will be available for name-your-price donation to the podcast. Market opens when City Built does at noon and runs to 4pm.

See you in the afternoon!

An art market and limited beer release will be held in Grand Rapids this weekend to celebrate a local creatives and artists podcast — called “Bad Idea Social Club.”

🚨 VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: Alyssa Pacheco 🚨

Alyssa Pacheco is a poet and artist who blends watercolor, acrylics, and words into pieces that feels like something a warm hug and a gut punch. Her work moves between these quiet moments and raw, sometimes uncomfortably real scenes you won’t forget.

She’ll be posted up at the art market, writing words and flipping birds, on July 19 at City Built. Market runs noon to 4.
