BINGO IS BACK, BABES! I missed you all last Thursday, and I’m ready Do The Dame Thing again. I know how busy this holiday season is, but I think it’s still important to come together, connect, and have fun!

Join us this Thursday 12/12 from 5-8ish. Mocktails available. The game will start at 6. You’re absolutely welcome to come hang out, even if you don’t feel like playing.

Bring a friend, or meet some new ones.

SIP, SNACK, SHOP.

This Friday, DECEMBER 6th from 5-8pm I’ll be sampling and serving 3 of Curious Elixir’s booze-free craft cocktails.

Curious Elixirs are carefully created with the finest ingredients, infused with adaptogens and no refined sugar. These functional, booze-free beverages use the magic properties of plants to lift you up, bring balance, and help you unwind.

No. 5- Smoked Chocolate Cherry Old Fashioned with Cacao, Elderberry, Smoked Cherry, Chikory and Shatavari. It may boost your mood, your immunity, and even have aphrodisiac effects.

No. 6- Coconut Pineapple Oatmilk Painkiller with Lemon Balm and Nutmeg to relieve stress and boost your mood and Aloe for a beauty boost. Reminds me of Christmas in Hawaii.

No. 9- Rosy Rosé with Fizzy Lime, Chardonnay grape, Echinacea, Kanna, and Poppy to open your heart and lift your mood. May ease stress and boost immunity as well.

I drank a No. 9 at Bunko last night and was every bit as satisfied as if I had a glass of my favorite wine. I woke up feeling refreshed and ready for a beautiful day.

We’ll see you Friday!

Hey ladies- I missed you all last Thursday, and I’m ready Do The Dame Thing again. It’s more important than ever to come together, connect, and love on each other.

I decided to do a game night, because they bring people together, create joy, and help our minds to focus. I’m not super competitive, but I do love to win games that don’t involve skill 😂 I’ve been thinking of making game night a monthy thing and which game would be the most fun and inclusive. I thought about a Bunko night (I still am), but Bingo kept coming up. Because of the synchronicities, I decided that was the game to start with. Then last night I walked into TJ Maxx (🙌🏼) and there was the cutest Bingo cage, done deal!!

Join us this Thursday 11/7 from 5-8ish. We’ll have Mocktails and mingle and the game will start at 6. You’re absolutely welcome to come hang out, even if you don’t feel like playing.

Bring a friend, or meet some new ones.

Sips and snacks available for purchase.

We can hardly believe it, but Thanksgiving is right around the corner. We are so thankful to be able to provide you with fresh Sourdough as well as all of your Non Alcoholic drinks this holiday.

Traditional Sourdough loaves from .doughoe will only be available through this pre order. There will not be any other loaves available Thanksgiving week. Order through this link to pick up the day before Thanksgiving (Wed 11/27) from 9am- 6pm.

So many of us are drinking less these days, but that doesn’t mean we have to compromise the quality of what we drink for special occasions. We’ve picked some really special, de-alcoholised wines to offer through pre order. We have alcohol free Blanc De Blanc from .wine and an Albariño and a Cabernet from .

In addition to these online goodies, Beetle Bodega will be fully stocked with many other intentional bevvies.

If you’re looking for something specific or larger quantities, send a message, we’d love to help curate your perfect holiday drink selection.
