Cheese lovers and music fans, unite! Thrasher Opera House and J’s BBQ are teaming up for the cheesiest fundraiser of the season—The J’s Fresh Cheese Incident, a deliciously clever nod to jam band legends The String Cheese Incident.
For just $25, you’ll get a 4-pound bag of J’s signature Fresh Cheese Sauce—perfect for nachos, mac & cheese, brat toppers, and more. Even better? $5 from every bag sold will support Thrasher Opera House’s live arts and community programming.
How to Order
All orders must be placed in advance through Thrasher Opera House between June 9–19. No sales will be available at the pick-up locations.
Order online or stop by the Thrasher Box Office during regular hours. You’ll receive a receipt (either printed or digital), which you’ll need when picking up your cheese.
