Valentine’s Day is not for everyone—but it can be especially irksome for singles. In fact, those of us who have spent one (or more) of said holiday without a significant other generally have one objective: to get through the day with dignity intact. Sure, it’s tempting to hunker down on the couch with old episodes of “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” on Netflix instead of getting out of the house, but we all know that won’t help anyone. Here’s a handy guide to a “no moping allowed” Valentine’s Day.
The brewery is still working out the details, but says it will hold a “My Black Heart” Valentines party the Friday night before Valentine’s Day, complete with games and the release of a very dark imperial stout. Their reasoning? So many people break up the week before that there will surely be plenty of lonely hearts to nurse. Return to the brewery from 1-3 p.m. Sunday for a Valentine’s/Galentine’s Day Paint & Sip, which offers instruction on painting one scene across two canvases. It’s like the grown-up version of a BFF necklace.
