Death over Drafts are community gatherings where end-of-life conversations are being “tapped” at breweries nationwide and in Canada. These events are hosted by Crafters aka Hosts who welcome those curious and serve in the end-of-life space to connect, reflect, share, and have fun. Death over Drafts Happy Hour started with a brewing vision to bring people together and create meaningful connections by combining two passions—craft beer and conversations on end-of-life. Please bring your beverage of choice to this online Death over Drafts Zoom meeting!
