The What Else
Need a break from the music? Find some shade and chill out with a cold Goose Island beer or a Jim Beam cocktail . Or maybe a Hornitos Tequila margarita or one of their delicious new seltzers is your thing. Just don’t forget to slow down long enough to enjoy where you are and who you are with. And remember to stop by the Merch Booth so you can take home a souvenir of the time you spent at Sacred Rose. I can’t wait to grab a poster and something from the Sacred Rose and Sec 119 limited pieces from the “Philco” line.
