There’s no time like the present to explore all the hidden (and not so hidden) gems that your city has to offer. Don’t let the cooler weather discourage you – there are loads of unique experiences, both indoor and outdoor, that are sure to keep you entertained!

The best part? Partake Brewing is making it possible for you to indulge in a delicious, crisp brew (or two) no matter which activity you choose. Just one of the many perks of partaking in non-alcoholic beer!
