It’s time for the final “Tales from the Taproom” of 2025! No props, no notes. Just five minutes and a true, personal, favorite story. It’s your last opportunity of the year to step-up to the microphone in Manitowoc’s premiere True Story Zone!

The theme for this year-end finale at PetSkull Brewing Company, sponsored by Seehafer News, from 6-8 PM on Thursday, December 11, is “Whoopsies!!!” Because sometimes even the best laid plans don’t exactly go according to, well, the plan. The only required element of whatever story you tell is that it has to be about a time where something didn’t quite work out the way you thought it would!

Since ‘Tis the Season, your story might be about a holiday gone wrong—Hannukah, Christmas, perhaps Groundhog Day. But, it certainly doesn’t have to. You could even tell the tale of a misadventure that turned out to be better than the original plan! And as this is an Adults-Only event, nothing is off limits—if you’re willing to tell it, it’s a story worth hearing.

You don’t have to come to “The Taproom” to tell a story—you can come to just listen, enjoy, and bask in the wonder of communal storytelling. However, should you want to step up to the mic to share a story that fits in with the evening’s theme, sign-up begins at 5:30 PM and we’ll fit in as many stories of life gloriously falling apart as possible during the allotted time. Five minutes may seem like a lot of time, but it goes by quickly. And we’ll have a timekeeper to keep you on-track.

We can’t wait to hear all about your whoopsie at the December installment of “Tales from the Taproom!”
