Somewhere between history, mystery, and your third beer, things get a little hazy.
Welcome to Area 573: Aliens & Ale. A night where Cape Girardeau’s strangest story gets the spotlight it deserves.
Hosted by the fine frequency wranglers at 93.9 Mike FM, this one-night-only experience lands at Scout Hall and takes you straight back to April 1941, when a supposed UFO crash lit up the skies over Cape Girardeau and sparked one of the Midwest’s strangest legends.
We’ll kick things off with a dramatic retelling of the infamous encounter, setting the scene before first contact is made. With your beer flight.
Settle into our outdoor biergarten setup and enjoy a curated tasting from Craft Republic.
Each ticket includes a flight of beers (full lineup coming soon), plus a spread of appetizers and free popcorn to keep you grounded.
After the tasting, grab another round AND quote-along to a free outdoor screening of Spaceballs. Because nothing pairs with UFO lore and cold beer quite like The Schwartz.

- A live retelling of Cape’s 1941 UFO crash story
- A full beer flight per guest
