Pop-Ups

Brewery slots, bar nights, market activations.

Live forge plus live music. The kind of programming that turns a Wednesday into a destination.

Forge at a brewery — operator photo to come

What this is

Your taproom, my forge. Three to four hours of live blacksmithing, folk songs, and audience interaction. People stop, stare, and stay. They drink longer. They tell their friends. The brewery owner who books me on a slow night turns it into one of the best nights of the month.

Available for breweries, distilleries, bars, and outdoor venues across the Front Range and beyond.

Best fit for

Breweries and taprooms looking for programming that draws foot traffic. Bars wanting a unique activation for a slow weeknight. Outdoor venues with patio space. Anyone whose customers respond to “there's a blacksmith here tonight” better than another trivia night.

What's included

·3–4 hours of live forging on-site
·Folk music and shanty sets throughout the night
·Audience interaction — people watch, ask questions, take photos, sometimes hold a piece
·Full mobile setup: forge, anvil, tools, fuel, all safety equipment
·Liability insurance and certificate available for your venue
·Promotional content for your social channels (photos and short video from the night)
·Travel within 60 miles of Greeley included

What you get

A working forge as a focal point of your venue for an evening. Customers staying longer, drinking more, and posting about it. Photo and video content for your social media. The kind of activation that becomes “remember when the blacksmith was here?” months later — and gets booked again because of it.

Featured demonstrations for larger events

For events with programming budgets rather than vendor-fee structures — town festivals with entertainment lines, corporate gatherings, conferences, brand activations — live forging works as featured programming. Pre-event promotional materials, full-day forge presence, post-event content for your channels. Different from a vendor booth. Inquire for pricing.

Logistics

Setup needs about 16x13 of outdoor space, ideally adjacent to your patio or main customer area. 15 feet of clearance from buildings and combustibles. Power not required.

Best fit for warm-weather months and covered outdoor spaces in shoulder seasons. Indoor setup is not currently available — the forge is open-flame and needs proper ventilation.

Booking 2–4 weeks ahead is typical. Recurring bookings (monthly or quarterly residency) available at a reduced rate.

Investment

Pop-up bookings start at $700 for a 3-hour evening. $850 for 4-hour bookings.

Recurring bookings (4+ events per year) at preferred rates. Travel beyond 60 miles billed separately.

A 50% deposit reserves the date.
