Battle of the Brews
We wanted to do something to bring the community together in support of some big causes. That's why we've partnered with the brewers at Black Stag Brewery & Pub and 23rd St Brewery for some good-old fashioned competition. The two will be pitted one another to decide who's the king of beer in the Topeka and Berryton area. The winner gets more than bragging rights, however! They get to decide which charity walks away with the grand prize! Advantage Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. will donate to each brewery's organization based on what place they come in at the end of Friday, December 17, 2021.
Donations:
- 1st: $1000
- 2nd: $500
Rules:
- Contestant requires minimum 50 votes to qualify.
- Voting: 1 vote per day per person.
- Votes with unverified emails will not be counted.
- One person cannot vote for other people. Play fair. It's okay if one person votes for family members, but not for multiple people (this is tracked and votes will be disregarded if this is done.)

Black Stag Brewery & Pub
The love of Lawrence, of brewing beer, and of good food translated into a passion for hometown hospitality in our founders. Opening a brewery and restaurant in the heart of Downtown Lawrence was a merging of family ideals, passion, experience, and timing.
