Excelsior Brewing’s 3rd Annual Easter Egg Hunt! 🐣🌷 Saturday, April 4 | Doors Open at 11:00 AM FREE Event

Get ready for one of our favorite family traditions — the Excelsior Brewing Easter Egg Hunt is back for year three! Bring the kids, bring the family, and get ready for a fast, fun, candy-filled morning in the taproom.

This indoor egg hunt moves quickly — those kids are fast! The doors open at 11:00 AM, and we’ll kick things off right away with the youngest egg hunters first, followed shortly by the next age group, and then the oldest group just a couple minutes later. It all happens pretty quickly so everyone gets their turn to jump in on the fun.

We’ll have 2,000 eggs that keep getting redistributed during the hunt. Kids collect eggs, then turn them in for a bag of candy, which means every child leaves with treats, no matter how many eggs they grab.

The hunt usually wraps up by noon, but the fun continues with coloring pages and plastic eggs to decorate while families hang out and enjoy the morning. And while the kids are busy hunting eggs, parents can grab a beer and enjoy the fun too.

What to Expect 🥚 Indoor Easter Egg Hunt 🍬 2,000 eggs in circulation 🎨 Coloring pages & egg decorating 🎉 Candy bags for all participating kids 🍻 Beer for the grown-ups

Bring your baskets, bring your bunny ears, and get ready for a morning of Easter fun at the brewery! 🐰🌼🍭
