Join Jack in the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Rapunzel and a host of fairy tale favorites as they search for “happily ever after” in James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s fractured musical. Cursed by a witch with childlessness, the Baker and his wife embark on a quest for objects to break the spell: “A cow as white as milk; a cape as red as blood; a hair as yellow as corn; a slipper as pure as gold.” All get their wishes but soon discover moving lessons in responsibility that bring their happy endings crashing down around them.

Happy New Beer’s Eve everyone! Wait, what? OK, OK, first, a little history: The unofficial holiday of “New Beer’s Eve” is held every year on April 6th. It commemorates the official end of prohibition in 1933. On March 23, 1933, the Cullen-Harrison Act was signed in to law by president Franklin D. Roosevelt – making it legal to sell beer again beginning on April 7th of that same year. As a result, people gathered in lines around breweries and taverns on the evening of April 6th in great anticipation of the legal purchase and consumption of beer for the first time in 13 years. According to our extensive research, people have since referred to the day as “New Beer’s Eve.”
You may have noticed that we, at Bucks Happening, like our beer. We often highlight new brews coming to town, seasonal offerings, and tap takeovers. So we thought it fitting to officially highlight this unofficial holiday and….take the opportunity to talk more about some new brews coming to town.

Listen up beer fans: Riegelsville will soon be home to a new Brewery. Long-time friends Phil Adams and Stone Gahagan (“PS” in the interview) are all set to open the Ringing Rocks Brewery. Their passion for beer and small business turned brewing from a hobby into a startup in only four years. We recently had the chance to talk beer and friendship with the two owners. Judging by their sense of humor, the brewery will be a lot of fun.
