Two hours before puck drop and an hour before fans can enter the rink, get ready for hockey with The Official Party Town Warm-Up, just a block away at the Taproom @ Wonder Bread.

During each event, enjoy live music and a chance to win Black Hawks prizes.  Fans can also score great drink and food specials.

The Taproom @ Wonder Bread is located at 325 Commercial Street.  It is home to three great Iowa beer brands: SingleSpeed, Peace Tree, and Backpocket Brewing.  Once again this season, SingleSpeed is celebrating hockey season with their popular Party Town American Lager.  Fans aged 21 and over can find the Black Hawks-themed beer at Young Arena, the Taproom @ Wonder Bread, and from local craft beer retails.

On October 2nd, Party Town American Lager is on special for $5 all game long.
