Spotlight on Service Brewing Company
Octagon, Buzz, River House, & Hush
Montage Palmetto Bluff restaurants are proud to carry Service Brewing Company products—during Veterans Month, and year-round. In 2014, Kevin Ryan, a West Point graduate and former Army commander, was ready for a new mission. He and his partner, Meredith Sutton, launched Service Brewing with the help of nearly two dozen investors, most of them Army, Navy, and Marine Corps veterans. Kevin still leads the company, continuing to develop recipes and research the craft. Meredith, a SCAD graduate, designed the stunning Savannah tasting room based off the stories Kevin told about his military experience and has creatively built the brand to pay homage to American military history.

Día de los Muertos: Sugar Skull Painting
2:00pm, Paintbox
In this hands-on workshop, young travelers will learn about the history of Sugar Skulls, or calaveras de azúcar—a cherished part of Día de los Muertos celebrations. Originally created by 17th-century Spanish missionaries and deeply rooted in Indigenous Mexican traditions, sugar skulls are colorful symbols of remembrance, joyfully honoring loved ones who have passed. Participants will get to decorate their own “sugar skulls” using bright colors and personal touches—but with a fun twist: to make taking them home easier, the skulls are not made of real sugar. Instead, they’re ceramic piggy banks that can be cherished long after the paint dries.
$15 per Guest
