Murfreesboro, TN - The Warehouse will soon be buzzing with laughter, clinking glasses, and a shared sense of purpose as Hope & Hops returns this Thursday, October 16. Hosted by the Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Center (DVSA Center), this beloved annual event blends the warmth of community with the bold flavors of local craft brews—all to support survivors and strengthen prevention efforts across Rutherford County.
From 5:30 p.m. for VIPs and 6:00 p.m. for general admission, guests will gather at 730 Middle Tennessee Blvd, Suite 14, to enjoy an evening that’s more than just a good time. It’s a chance to stand with those who’ve faced unimaginable hardship and help fund the services that guide them toward healing. Whether you’re sipping a Rhinegeist or sampling a Yee Haw, every pour carries a purpose.
The lineup of breweries is a local dream team: Ole Smoky, Half Batch Brewing, Cedar Glade Brews, and Middle Ground Brewing Co. will all be on tap, with bites provided by Goodness Gracious Café. Wristbands will be issued at check-in, and guests must be 21 or older with valid ID—no exceptions. Sponsors can skip the scan and head straight in, while general admission guests should have their Eventbrite tickets ready.
Parking is free, but the DVSA Center encourages carpooling or rideshare for those planning to indulge. And if you can’t attend in person, donations are still welcome through the event link. Every dollar helps fund critical services—from emergency shelter and counseling to education and outreach.
VIP tickets are $75 and include early access and upgraded drinkware. General admission is $50. But the real value lies in what this event represents: a community coming together to say, “You are not alone.”
The DVSA Center extends heartfelt thanks to every sponsor, vendor, and supporter who makes Hope & Hops possible. Your generosity fuels the mission to protect victims, prevent violence, and empower survivors—not just for one night, but every day.
