Annual Wagner Birthday Celebration
Tue, 05/12/2026 - 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
It’s time to celebrate — and what better occasion than Richard’s birthday?
Join us as we lift out steins to honor Herr Wagner on his (almost) 213th birthday. Our annual Wagner Birthday Gathering will take place on Tuesday, May 12, from 5–7 PM at Harmonic Brewing. Isn’t that an appropriate name? Right next to Chase Center, we’ll be outside with a beautiful view of the bay – the perfect backdrop for toasting Richard. Harmonic Brewing has more than a dozen beers on tap plus a wide selection of food options from small bites to more substantial options. There will be enough choices for everyone which can be ordered and paid for right from your phone. Check out their website: http://harmonicbrewing.com
Mark you calendar and come join the celebration!
