Chubby Cheeks Meadery

Bittersweet news, Chubby Cheeks fam! 🥂✨ Our beloved Jason is officially moving on up in the world and taking his next big step!

Jason has been a key ingredient in Chubby Cheeks history and lore. From his unmatched punctuality to that steady, calm demeanor behind the bar that we all rely on, (plus he puts up with us all!) he’s left an indelible mark on our taproom and our community. We are so happy for him, but we’re going to miss him dearly!

📸 Calling all Chubby Cheeks regulars! We want to give Jason the send-off he deserves. What’s your favorite memory with Jason behind the bar? Do you have a great photo with him from a past visit or event? Drop your favorite photos of Jason, stories, or well-wishes in the comments below! Let's flood this post with love for him. 👇👇

Because he's eager to get started on his next adventure, he has decided to make this week his FINAL WEEK behind our bar, so be sure to stop in, say goodbye in person, and raise a glass to his next chapter! You can catch him during opening hours this week starting Thursday at 4p.

And if you want to catch him on his final day this Sunday grab some Drag Show tickets (link in bio) to find out all the fun nicknames our drag host, Thai Teaze, loves to call him!

Thank you for everything, Jason. Once family, always family! We can't wait to follow you on your new adventure 🐝💛
