✨ About the Space

Drafting Table Brewing Co. – https://draftingtablebeer.com

This workshop will take place at Drafting Table Brewing Co., a family-owned craft brewery located in the heart of downtown Wixom known for its welcoming atmosphere, thoughtfully brewed beer, and strong connection to the local community. Founded in 2016, the brewery was created from a passion for craft beer and a desire to build a gathering place where people can relax, connect, and enjoy quality time together.

The taproom features warm lighting, handcrafted tables, and a friendly, laid-back vibe that encourages conversation and community. With a rotating selection of house-made beers, ciders, and seasonal favorites, Drafting Table has become a go-to neighborhood spot where guests can unwind and feel at home.

One unique aspect of Drafting Table is its bring-your-own-food culture, which invites guests to enjoy takeout from nearby restaurants or local food trucks while spending time at the brewery — creating a relaxed, social environment that pairs perfectly with a creative experience.

It’s the perfect setting for a fun and creative night out — where great drinks, friendly faces, and hands-on creativity come together in a warm and welcoming space.
