“Firk’ Yeah! It’s Friday”! – Held each Friday at 5:15 PM! Whether it’s McGilligan’s with Black Raspberry & Pineapple, Nigel Tufnel with Bourbon-soaked oak chips or The Blacksmith with Coffee & Coconut, our brew team always has some new tricks up their sleeves when creating these firkins! See what they come up with next! Fun fact: A firkin is unfiltered, unpasteurized beer, which is conditioned (including secondary fermentation) and served from a cask without additional nitrogen or carbon dioxide pressure. Cask ale may also be referred to as real ale, a term coined by the Campaign for Real Ale, often now extended to cover bottle-conditioned beer as well.

The vast outdoor activities that are available in our area go hand-in-hand with our brewpub take-out service model, and we strive to create an adventurous brand.
Why Should You Apply?
Apply in Person at The Livery 190 5th Street, Benton Harbor, MI 49022, or Email a cover letter and your resume to Employment@liverybrew.com
For groups of 15 or smaller, please shoot us an email at booking@liverybrew.com and give us a heads up!

The Livery has a 250 capacity entertainment venue, housed inside our historic 115-year-old brewpub! We offer a “Michigan-centric” event calendar each month, with most live entertainment taking place on Friday and Saturday. We occasionally book a Thursday or Sunday event, given a strong history in our market. Otherwise, our focus is on our established local bands, Michigan-based bands, and other strong Regional/National touring bands. While we always like to give local bands the chance to cut their teeth on our stage, we simply cannot accommodate all requests….and we often find it difficult to book bands from out of the area, given the volume of requests we receive. If your band has a strong draw, and feel you would be a good fit to play our stage, please email booking@liverybrew.com and include any pertinent links and press material. Cheers!
**Please note that we are typically booking 6 months ahead in the calendar, and our programming focuses on original material**
