Wooden Robot (South End) | Wednesday, October 22 | 6–9 PMJoin us as we raise a glass — and some funds — in memory of one of Charlotte’s most beloved brewers, Dan Wade. This special evening marks the return of Cosmic Ballet, a beer brewed with intention, heart, and the spirit of collaboration Dan was known for.
This year’s release will benefit the Dan Wade Memorial Scholarship, created by Dan’s family and friends to honor his life and passion for beer. Proceeds from every pint will go toward sending a future brewer to Appalachian State’s Brewing Short Course in Summer 2026 — helping carry on Dan’s legacy of mentorship, curiosity, and community.
What to Expect:Cosmic Ballet on tap at Wooden Robot South End
Proceeds from every pint donated to the scholarship fund
Other local breweries are joining in — pouring the beer and helping raise even more funds!
Dan’s passion for brewing was undeniable — but what made him truly unforgettable was the way he shared it. This event is a celebration of that energy: the spark that turns a good beer into something meaningful.
Come enjoy a pint, reconnect with your beer community, and help us build something lasting in Dan’s name.
Drink with purpose. Brew with heart. Cheers to Dan.
