With new beer releases, team trivia, live music, and the beginning of a Mug Club Membership on Friday, the brewery has quite a lot happening during its celebration.

Dillinger Brewing collaborated with NASA’s OSIRIS-REx Mission to create the “out of this world” OSIRIS-REx Recon IPA. The beer is brewed with Galaxy and Comet hops, and is meant to be a tribute to the mission that returned an asteroid sample to Earth.

You can grab a cold glass of that beer during their anniversary party. In addition, Dillinger Brewing has also joined forces with Tucson Hop Shop to make a new Lemon Rosemary Sour, which will also be released Friday.

Plus, don’t forget to inquire about the new Mug Club Membership. They’ll be releasing details soon or on Friday.

If you happen to drop by the brewery on Saturday, Juliana Warkentin will be providing live music from 7 – 9 p.m. Also, you’ll have the option to purchase bottled beer from the cellar, and sink your teeth into some sweets with their Chocolate Cherry Stout dessert pairings.

The animals are welcoming you to their stomping grounds for tastings and presentations from local coffee roasters and tea houses, early morning snacks, easy going tunes, and yoga with Let’s Sweat.

Once you’ve had a proper amount of tea and coffee, there will be morning cocktails to sip on at the cash bar — bloody marys, mimosas, and Irish coffees aplenty.

Tickets are $32 for the Advance General Admission, $9.95 for kids 3-12 years old, and anyone younger than that is free. I you’d like to add on a Yoga session it’s an additional $5.

Your experience includes admission to the museum, samples from all vendors, a cup of coffee and baked good, a commemorative coffee mug, all activities, and 15% off lunch at the Ocotillo Café.

Day-pass tickets are $55 per person (unless you’ve already got a room at the ranch)
