At the end of this month, Anberlin releases a new EP, Convinced, and marks 21 years of bandom. For the next few weeks after that, the Bay area rock giant plays summer festivals and 5,000-6,000-seat amphitheaters with Yellowcard (plus one show at San Diego’s Petco Park baseball stadium, no big deal).

Before that, however, is this no-cover intimate acoustic gig at The Brutalist, a brewery/bar/temple of beer co-founded by Anberlin drummer Nate Young. Hang with the fellas, sip on the band’s “Anbeerlin” brew, drink beer slushies and get exclusive merch at this helluva hometown show.

And if you need to sleep in the parking lot after the show, don’t worry, it’s The Brutalist’s anniversary weekend meaning more beer drops, screen printing, markets, tacos from Te Invito, plus karoke, popsicles, pinball machines and a father’s day party, too.

There’s no cover to see Anberlin play The Brutalist in St. Petersburg on Friday, June 16.
