Celebrate Homecoming, Stein Society at pub party Oct. 26
UMaine Dining invites you to raise a stein to dear old Maine at its inaugural Party at the Pub, celebrating the launch of the University of Maine Stein Society 5–8 p.m. Oct. 26 in the Class of 1944 Bear’s Den Café & Pub in the Memorial Union.
The Stein Society membership is for people age 21 and older. The first year of membership through October 2020 is $30; $25 for annual renewal. Each member will get a 22-ounce numbered stein at the Bear’s Den Cafe & Pub, and receive alerts of new beers on tap and special events. Members also receive “birthday bucks” for discounts on food in the pub.
“The pub wanted to offer an option for people to gather around a shared love — microbrew beers — in a relaxed environment here on campus,” said Norbert Henkel, associate director of UMaine Dining. “We chose to do steins instead of mugs or pints because of the university’s history with the stein.”
New Stein Society members will be entered into a drawing for stein No. 1.
The event will kick off the Bear’s Den Café & Pub’s Brewer’s Night Series. Representatives from Geaghan Brothers Brewing Co. will talk about their beers, including “Stein Song,” now on tap in the pub.
