Thew Brewing Company is hosting an event tonight (Saturday, Feb. 8) that is somewhat unique.

Tonight the Cedar Rapids business is hosting “drag bingo.” Prior to the public event, Thew Brewing Company is hosting a drag bingo event in partnership with Tanager Place targeting children.

Drag queens will be calling the numbers and the kids can win prizes.

“We are welcoming underage and frequently mistreated/misunderstood people to come in and enjoy the event in a safe environment, free of judgment.”

On Feb. 5, Thew Brewing Company said a very “hate-filled, ignorant and disturbed individual” reached out regarding his disapproval for the event. The event will take place as planned, though.
