Death over Drafts

Welcome to Death over Drafts-Connecticut! This community gathering is designed to spark curiosity and foster connections around the topics of death and dying. Join us for an evening of meaningful conversations, delicious craft beer, and a chance to meet members of the Connecticut Death Collective.

Hosted by Death over Drafts Crafter, Kate Bagnati, and fellow Connecticut Death Collective members, this event offers a unique opportunity to blend two passions—craft beer and end-of-life discussions.

6:00 PM - 6:30 PM: Mingling and introductions

6:30 PM - 7:30 PM: Playing The Death Deck, a welcomed conversation starter that lets us explore a topic we’re all obsessed with but often afraid to discuss!

7:30 PM - 8:00 PM: Additional mingling and conversation

Everyone is welcome, even if you don’t love beer. This is not a support group, but a place for supportive connections. 

Cheers! Come and connect with others while enjoying craft beer from Captain Zig, and be part of this unique community gathering.

All attendees must be 21+.
