Food truck rallies have become a regular fixture at JDub's Brewing Company, but on July 15, the event carried a little more significance. 

The brewery celebrated the one-year anniversary of its monthly food truck rallies in its typical form — food, music and beer. JDub's welcomed patrons of all shapes and sizes. Children played lawn games in the beer garden while adults enjoyed the live band and spray painting by Richie Brasil. 

"We switch it up every time," said Taylor Pogue, JDub's online presence manager. "It's a really great place for people to come for the day."
