Event Waiver

THE BASICS
  • Must book for a minimum of 30 people.
  • Reservations are 2 hours minimum and 4 hours maximum.
  • 20% gratuity will be automatically applied to all tabs for your party.
  • Depending on the date of your event, it may be subject to an event admin fee and/or a minimum spend deposit. See below for details.
  • Your requested date/time is not confirmed until BRB receives your signed event waiver and event admin fee - if the fee is applicable.
  • Food: if we have a pop-up scheduled that overlaps with your party, and you plan to provide food to your guests, you must utilize the in-house pop-up. Otherwise, use our preferred caterers!
REFUNDABLE MINIMUM SPEND DEPOSIT & EVENT ADMIN FEE
  • Event Admin Fee
    • Typically ranges from $250-$500
    • Typically applied to events booked between April 1 - September 30 unless otherwise stated by BRB.
    • This is a one-time fee. It is not refundable unless covered under our cancellation policy terms (see below).
    • The fee amount is determined by a variety of factors such as event size, date, time, length, special requests, and other considerations.
  • Refundable Minimum Spend Deposit
    • All events are subject to a refundable minimum spend deposit unless otherwise indicated by Break Rock. The deposit amount is determined at the sole discretion of Break Rock and varies depending on event size, date, time, length, special requests, and other factors.
    • A minimum spend deposit must be provided on the day of your event. If the deposit is not provided, your event will not be permitted to continue.
    • Deposit can be submitted as cash, bank check, money order, or a credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Upon your arrival, check in at bar to provide this deposit to Taproom Lead.
    • This deposit will be returned to you/your card after the event - provided your group hits the minimum spend amount & no damage has been inflicted on the space, and you have otherwise followed BRB's rules and guidelines as agreed to in the waiver
    • The following items purchased on-site in the taproom from Break Rock Brewing during your event time frame "build" or "count" toward your minimum spend deposit: any alcoholic or nonalcoholic drink sales consumed on-site or snacks consumed on-site (food sold by pop-ups do not count toward your minimum). Items that don't count toward your minimum spend include nonbeverage merchandise, gift cards, apparel, or to-go beverage products.
    • The mandatory 20% gratuity does NOT count toward your minimum.
    • The event admin fee does not count toward your minimum.
    • Your party can either all be under one "open tab" or we can track each tabs opened by individual guests in your party to work towards achieving your minimum. We do this by providing you with a hand stamp for your guests to identify who is a member of your group. We also ask that you encourage guests to identify as part of the party when ordering - this will help our staff and ensure their purchase counts toward the minimum spend.
    • If your minimum spend is not hit, the difference will be subtracted from your deposit submitted at the start of your event. Then, any remaining balance from the deposit will be returned to you.
WHAT WE PROVIDE
  • We offer draft beer, hard seltzer, red/white/rose wine, and hard cider. By law, no outside alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, champagne, seltzer, spirits, or anything else) are allowed into the taproom. This policy is zero tolerance! If you or your guests bring in outside alcohol, your deposit and fees are forfeit and you will be asked to leave.
  • We offer a selection of non-alcoholic beverages including non-alcoholic beer, bottled water, seltzer, sodas, THC seltzers, mocktails, & juice.
  • We are not a restaurant and do not serve food. But we encourage you to cater your event using one of our on site food pop ups or a preferred caterer. Your party organizer is responsible for coordinating ordering, delivery, and clean-up. Please let us know if you are looking for local catering recommendations we are happy to help with a list of preferred caterers. Please note, we do not provide paper goods or cutlery. You are responsible for these items. **If we have a food vendor booked on-site during the hours of your party we will require that your party uses them as the first option for food. If the vendor is unable to accommodate you, you may cater however you see fit.**
  • We can provide folding tables and black tableclothes for food/gift tables. If tables are needed, please let us know, in detail, what they will be used for so we can set the room up accordingly. We recommend bringing tablecloths if you choose to use one of our folding tables.
  • If you require early access for decorating, please request this so we can book/plan accordingly. If we can accomodate, we will, but early access is not gaurenteed.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
  • Please fill out the Event Request form under “Events” ---> "Private Parties" on our website for consideration. We book events on a first-booked basis. The date is not secure until we receive your event waiver and if applicable, the event admin fee.
  • If you have any specific needs or requests, please let us know when you fill out the form. This includes catering recommendations, table needs, decoration requests, etc.
EVENT WAIVER: SUBMISSION IS REQUIRED FOR BOOKING
