Lobbing Scorchers and Sounder at Heart are bringing in the summer of soccer with a Club World Cup watch party at Fast Fashion Brewing, this Saturday starting at 4:30 pm
Among a multitude of other festivities, we’ll be debuting our official Lobbing Scorchers hot sauce, a project we’ve been working on for the past few months with our sponsor Haxan Ferments.
We’re also planning on a YouTube watch-along while we take in the first CWC match, which will see Inter Miami, Lionel Messi, and the Barca Boys take on Al Ahly in their group-stage opener.
Sounder at Heart has hosted events at Fast Fashion in the past, and it’s been a great place to watch soccer and get acquainted with our audience. It'll hopefully set the stage for a jam-packed summer of soccer and content as we commence our CWC coverage, then look ahead to the rest of the 2025 season.
