Volunteer to Score Surprise Swag

Ok … so we totally understand why volunteer signups are a little slow for the Deschutes Street Pub evening shifts on July 15. But Roanoke Outside still needs your help.

So here’s the deal – everyone who signs up for the late shift will score surprise swag from Deschutes – and they say it is sure to bring a smile to your face.

The Street Pub, which brought thousands of people to Downtown Roanoke for a day of food, fun, and tasty beverages, broke records for kegs kicked in 2016. Plus, thanks to volunteers like you, the event raised $81,000 for local nonprofits. This year the featured nonprofits are Blue Ridge Land Conservancy, Bradley Free Clinic, Pathfinders for Greenways, and Roanoke Outside.

The Street Pub is free and is a giant, family-friendly one-stop shop for beer tastings. Deschutes Brewery will have more than 50 taps with plenty of brews to taste, including favorites and special taps. The craft beer event will also include culinary creations from Deschutes Executive Chef, Jeff Usinowicz, and a couple of local chefs and there will be plenty of live music from local bands!

The first kegs will be tapped at 2 p.m and last call happens at 10 p.m.

But none of it can happen without your help. The Street Pub relies on the support of volunteers to keep costs down so that more money can be donated to nonprofits. There are a variety of jobs available, beginning with an 8:30 morning shift and running through the breakdown after last call. One of the most fun jobs might just be pouring beer; volunteers always say it’s a great experience.
