Kick off the Dempsey Challenge at the biggest party of the weekend: “Courage Fest” at Gritty’s L/A Brew Pub. It all starts Friday afternoon with our broadcast of the BLM Afternoon on every last Friday of the month hosted by yours truly, The Guru! We'll kick the party into high gear with Patron and Courage Ale Specials and later the Jason Spooner Band takes the stage to play their summertime hit "Fireflies" and plenty of other favorite tunes. Gritty’s is the place to be Dempsey weekend!

We have the ‘Courage, do you? Dempsey Courage Ale is on tap at Gritty's L/A Brew Pub. They brew this delicious golden pale ale in honor of the Dempsey Challenge. Come have a pint and they'll donate a $1 to the Challenge!

All summer long the Dempsey Center is Gritty's “chosen charity.” The Gritty’s Challenge Team is more than 54 people strong and they have raised more than $10,000 so far!

There’s still money rolling in, so they expect to raise even more. Give these team a big round of applause and pat on the back if you see them this weekend in the Gritty’s jerseys. Come cheer on the Gritty's team and hang out in the beer tent on Saturday and Sunday. It’s going to be a beautiful, sunny warm fall weekend.
