The First Pour: A Low-Risk Way to Find Your Beer

August 14, 2026

We ask your mood, not your usual. That's the whole idea behind the First Pour: four tasting pours, picked for how you're actually feeling that day, not just whatever's most popular.

How it works

Order the First Pour, and a staff member will ask what beer mood you're in before building your flight from our current 12-tap lineup. Four 4oz pours, your choice, guided, for $5. No forms, no app, just tell us and we'll steer you right.

The guarantee, plainly stated

If none of your four pours hit right, your next full pint's on us. That's the entire risk we're asking you to take: one visit, five dollars, and a guided flight instead of guessing alone at an unfamiliar tap list.

Why we built it this way

A lot of people default to the same one or two spots out of habit, not enthusiasm. Trying somewhere new takes a small leap, and we'd rather remove that friction than ask you to take it on faith. Come taste it and decide for yourself, no hype language required.

What happens after

Claim your First Pour and we'll text and email you a confirmation, just show it at the bar on your next visit. You'll also get set up as a Second Wind Regular, free, no membership fee, so you hear about new rotating taps and events first.

Claim your First Pour and find out for yourself. It's $5 and one visit.
