Ahoy there! We got good beers and good times galore out here on the SS Horatio* so climb aboard and grab a beer! Yarr!

First and/or foremost, we've got a new beer on tap right dang now! It's a session brown ale called Hillcrest and it is brown! Jimbo went and brewed this lil' beer up to celebrate her parents' recent milestone wedding anniversay - session-strength, smooth-sippin', and brewed with a fistful of oats 'n love, this beer is the perfect choice for an impromptu summer stroll with your favorite human or late night campfire chats. 

​Hello, friends! It's been a big ol' busy ol' week around here and we've got tons of cool stuff to share!

In the biggest news, our new bar has arrived! We spent a lotta time thinking through and working out the various details, but this is the first time we've actually seen it all up close and personal, and dang but it looks amazing!* ​

And speaking of rad news, we know it's somethin' of a fun outdoors grilling type day today, so to celebrate we're dolin' out free hot dogs in the taproom! Come and get 'em!

And looking a little farther into the future, Jimbo's gettin' ready to resume her wrestlin' persona as the Fermento-Terror at the Pink Boots Boston Summer Showdown on July 29! It's gonna be at Lookout Farm in Natick and there's gonna be arm wrestlin' and laughter and novelty train rides and special beers. Grab your tickets here - all proceeds go towards the Pink Boots Boston Chapter. Come on out and support the rad ladies who make your beer! 

​Oh hi there! Welcome back! We've got some tasty times for all y'all, both soon and on the horizon, so sit on down and read on up and we'll tell you what we've got goin' on!

Firstly, as always, we're tappin' a new cask this Thursday! This time around it's a beer that's relatively new to the menu, but which has become a fast favorite of ours around here: Azacca! It's nice 'n' light 'n' refreshing, and we've got a hunch that it'll pair quite nicely with a handful of MA-grown Four Star Cascade, so we put some right on in there!

In other (exciting, expansion-related) news, our architectural drawings were finally finalized this week! We've been keepin' busy painting and planning and building furniture these last couple of months, but without knowing what the city needed from us rennovations-wise, we couldn't do much more than that. And now we can! Unless the building department doesn't like the drawings!

And while we're on the subject of hangin' out, we'd like to give a shoutout to all the awesome brewery peeps that have helped us kick off our industry kickball "league!" We came up with the idea to get together a couple times a week for some pickup kickball games down the street from our taproom, and so many local Beer Friends answered our calls! Peeps from Night Shift, Wormtown, Notch, Castle Island, Modern Draught, Short Path, Jack's Abby, (the soon-to-be) Oddfellows, Lord Hobo, Aeronaut, and of course our own humble operation came out to play and it's oh so much fun! If you're in the brewery industry yourself, you should join! Email us for the details at info@boneup.beer!

Lastly but far from leastly, we figured that y'all were moderately to very overdue for an update on all this expandin' we're tryin' to do, and we aim to fix that! But before we delve into the nitty gritty, it's worth mentioning that the one question you're hoping we'll answer - namely, "when all this gon' be done" - is something we (frustratingly - for us in particular) don't have an answer for. But that don't mean we ain't been busy! Thanks to a flurry of activity (and some massively appreciated help) we got most of the cosmetic stuff in the taproom mostly done - flooring and molding and painting and tables and countertops and that sweet mural that Jimbo's been painting and probably at least one other thing that I'm not thinking of (though now that I think about it, a rug would really tie the room together).

Lastly, we pretty much completely missed the boat on announcing the coloring contest winners on the blog last week, so this ain't gonna be a surprise for nobody, but here they are anyway!

​Hello again! We're back! And we're just straight-up chuffed to tell you all about all the cool stuff we got goin' on around here!

First and/or foremost, we're gonna take a step "behind the scenes" to discuss a moderately ridiculous tradition that we're continuing on the production floor around here. But first, a bit of background: when Jared landed his first Big Boy Brewery gig back in the day, his friend Dave somehow came up with the rad-yet-wildly-impractical notion that every brewer would be bringing their own mash paddles to work every day (the brewery in question had a 100+ BBL brewhouse, hence the impracticality). But now that we've got a real-ass brewery of our own, that's pretty much exactly what we do! We've got our own personalized paddles and each one has a more-or-less specific job - Jimbo's paddle gets used for mashing in, Jared's for graining out. 

Well hello there! We've got lots of good things lined up for you this week and we hope you enjoy them!

First up, it's a holiday weekend which means holiday hours! Woo! 

​Hello again! I hope you like good things and good times, because we've got lots of both comin' atcha!

First and/or foremost, there's a little project that we've had percolatin' for the past several months that we ain't spent much time shouting about, but it's all really real now and that means barrel-aged Ginger Spectacular!

​It all started when our friends over at GrandTen Distilling wandered into our taproom with an empty peach brandy barrel and then we brewed up a batch of Ginger Spectacular (because obviously) and now some months later we've got us a Ginger Jamboree! It's oaky and spicy and tasty as all heck and we ain't got much of it, so we suggest y'all get while the gettin's good!
