In Which Some Sweet-Ass Mugs Are Unearthed

7/21/2021

Pictured: pre-shennanigans BUBco family photo from our summer party this week. Oh, how we've multiplied over the years.

Dang on a thang, we're back at it again! We've got at least* one new beer for all y'all and we've got some teasers for some sweet anniversary merch and probably some other stuff so let's get to it!

We are approaching the phase of the Critters series where we get to meet people that can't read numerals. Exciting!

First and/or foremost is Critters XIV! We brewed up a big ol' batch** of a funky ol' saison with the intention of using it in future funky blends but also we're fans of it as-is so we figured we'd tap a little bit and anyway it's on tap right now and it's hella tasty!

El Dorado + Azacca + Ekuanot = good taste

And speaking of hella tasty beers on tap right now, we've got our new pale ale El Azakuanot on tap! Right now! It's so good, you guys.

Old man mugs! Get yer old man mugs!

And since we're just over a month away from our birthday/anniversary party (which will be August 27th-29th and there will be tons of beer and music and food and good times and friendship and we still haven't worked out all the legal/liability issues with having a petting zoo but that *is* on our radar for the future) we figured we'd show you the rad merch that just came in! Check out these sweet mugs! We'll be sellin' (and fillin') these suckers at our party all weekend, but we're also puttin' 'em up for preorder in case you're the planning type and you wanna make sure*** you can get your grubby little paws on one!

* It's entirely likely that there's more than one new beer and I'm just forgetting. Again.
** Nerdy side-note: we think this beer in particular is neat because we used Brett as the primary yeast, instead of fermenting with our regular ol' beer yeast and then adding Brett afterwards like we usually do.
*** We probably won't run out? But you never know (or rather, we never seem to know until it's too later).

In Which NEW HOODIE DAY

7/14/2021

Hello again! We're takin' a bit of a "breather" from rambling at length about our upcoming birthday party (which, for the uninitiated, will be taking place Friday August 27th through Sunday August 29th and it will have a ton of beer and bands and food and lots of laughs and good times and friendship and whathaveyou and anyway you should totally come because it'll be a good time) on account of how we were gonna release one of the band beers this week except it got "pushed back" by an "unknown amount of time" due to some "difficulties getting labels on time" (and we think it's more fun to keep the deets on the DL* until we release the beers) but anyway we must move forward and/or upward, so here goes!

Gemma's daily visits to the taproom will proceed as planned.

Firstly and most bummerly, the dog pool party that was originally scheduled for this Sunday has to be postponed. We ain't big on rescheduling at the last minute, but Harvey's Hope (the rescue that's running the event) had some sort of emergency and can't make it this weekend. So! If you were fixin' to come to that, mark your calendars for the new date of August 15!

NEW HOODIE DAY IS GOOD DAY

And! On a much more fun (though arguably less seasonally-appropriate) note, we've got new hoodies in stock (XS-2X)! We like to "mix things up" a bit every time we need to reorder hoodies, and this time we got pullovers with that sweet-ass Birthday Suit art on the back and they're a bit more "heavy duty" than some of our previous hoodies and anyway they're rad as hell and you should grab one!

* Spoiler alert: Blood Built and Organ Meats are unlikely to change. Ever.

In Which Coloring Returns!

7/7/2021

Well hey there, friends! We've got some fun beers to tell you about and some more details about our upcoming birthday celebration and maybe some stuff about an event that's happening a little sooner than our birthday, but first we gotta get to some news that we plum forgot about last week and that means...

Priorities!

Coloring is back! One of the things we've missed most about the (pre-pandemic) taproom is the monthly coloring contest. It brings us untold amounts of joy to see people getting excited about coloring and grabbing sheets and crayons at the bar and sometimes bringing in their own coloring supplies and getting really into it and then we get to see the Wall of Adequacy fill up with a bunch of cool art and oh man, it's really just one of our favorite things. And anyway it's back! Right now! Come color with us!

Look at that happy little beverage

And speaking of things that are available in the taproom right now, we've got a new beer on tap! It's a tasty lil' grisette called Merry Go Round that focuses on the hella-tasty-but-unfortunately-named hop Bitter Gold and dang but it is a treat! It's light 'n bright 'n fruity in all the right ways and a little hoppy but not too hoppy and anyway you should try it!

And while we're goin' on about tasty new beers that are on draft, we've got another new beer gracin' our draft lines in the near-to-immediate future (as in, pretty much as soon as something kicks. We're lookin' at you, Out of Bounds) and that's El Azakuanot! And in an entirely uncharacteristic twist, this beer ain't got no story behind it. We've never used these ingredients in this combination before, but it's all stuff that we're at least passingly familiar with (El Dorado, Azacca, and Ekuanot layered on a base of local grains), and honestly this beer don't need no story because it's so dang tasty but you'll just have to wait and see for yourselves!

He tried

And moving on even further into the future, comin' up on Sunday July 18 we're partnerin' up with Harvey's Hope and doin' a doggie pool party out in the beer garden! We'll be cordoning off part of the beer garden (but it won't be fully fenced, so this is a "leashes required" kind of event) and puttin' out some kiddie pools (and trying our best to make sure non-dog-related tables are outside of the splash zone) and lettin' some pups have themselves a day; so come on out and give your furry friends some pool time!

And, lastly but far from leastly, we've got more details on our upcoming birthday party! And since we got to the nitty gritty of the music* last week, we figured we'd use our time this week to talk about food! So, without further ado...

I am ready to be handed so many grilled mystery meats

On Friday Night (August 27th), also known as Punk/Metal Night, we'll be gettin' on down to the nitty gritty with a Brewer's Barbecue! And in more practical terms, that means we're bringin' in friend of the brewery who happens to be a truly excellent grillmaster and he's gonna be grillin' up burgers and dogs and a buncha tasty goodness! If you were at our party in 2019, you may remember him from the end-of-the-night "please just get all these drunk people to eat something" food session, and we liked his eats enough that this year we're givin' him the spotlight all evening on Friday!

Hi, I'm here for it

Then on Saturday (August 28th), we're bringin' in a new-to-us food popup that just so happens to be co-owned by one of our very own bartenders**, and that's Pizza Project! Pizza Project focuses on making tasty-ass sourdough pizzas and they're really just good as hell and we're pretty sure you're gonna enjoy the heck out of them! And, given that Saturday is often an all-day affair for some people, we're gonna be bringin' in some eats for the night and that'll probably be some form of grilled meats or whatever but we're still figurin' that part out so we'll let you know! Or we'll figure it out day of! Who knows!

P.S. HUGE shoutout to Brato for making Best of Boston 2021!!

And! Lastly! For the day when we'll all be feeling exceedingly spectacular after a weekend of beer and hot dogs and beer and pizza and beer and loud music (and maybe some beer), we're doin' up a chicken and waffles brunch (courtesy of our friends at Brato) all afternoon on Sunday (August 29th)! If there's anything that will soothe the savage beast raging within you on Sunday morning, it's gonna be fried chicken and one-to-six more beers and maybe some extra carbs and sugar on top. Trust us, we're professionals.

* It has been pointed out that there may have been some inaccuracies last week vis-a-vis the scheduling of the bands. It is worth pointing out that the author of this blog has a dim idea of what the actual plans are and maybe a bit of an imagination. If you need information that's "accurate," we suggest social media and/or other parts of this website. Maybe we should put a "for entertainment purposes only" disclaimer on the blog or something? Or maybe I should just look at the schedule before spoutin' my mouth off, but we all know that's not gonna happen.

In Which We Unleash the Birthday Suit

6/30/2021

Howdy-do kids and squids! We're gettin' all elbow-deep in the preppin' and the plannin' for our big ol' birthday party, and boy howdy are you all gonna have to hear about it (this week, and also pretty much every week for the next two months) but that's all well and good because this week we've got some real actual details which we kind of didn't last week. But first: beer.

A ridiculous beer with a ridiculous name, no less!

And it's not just any beer! This beer just so happens to be our five hundredth batch and since we like to celebrate silly milestones around here we figured we'd make a (modestly to very) silly beer! This time around we took the recipe for Extra Naked and doubled all the ingredients* and it's called Birthday Suit and it's gonna be in cans on Friday and you should come drink some!

Pictured: the first in several attempts to procure the silliest birthday present for the taproom over the summer.

And speaking of things that relate to birthdays, our birthday party is coming up in just two short** months! And we've got most of the band lineup locked down by now, so we'll get right to gabbin' about tunes!

Blood Built Empire, 2019

We're kickin' things off on Friday (August 27th, which happens to be the actual anniversary date) with two of the heaviest bands in our lineup: Lesser Glow and Blood Built Empire! We toyed with the idea of having a third band on Friday (and we haven't completely ruled it out yet), but we gotta stop the music by 9:30 (per city ordinance or whatever) and it would be kind of ridiculous to have a metal band playing at like five pm on a Friday. But even though we've "only" got two bands booked (which is still twice as many bands as we had at our first anniversary party) we're predicting this night will be pretty intense and we pretty much can't wait!

Weisstronauts, 2019

And moving on to Saturday (August 28th) we're bringin' in a whole buncha bands! The list includes some that are new to us (or at least new to performing at our birthday party), and some old favorites and it's definitely gonna be the widest range of genres over the course of the weekend. We're not totally set on the set order yet, but you'll get to hear some sounds from The Weisstronauts (who are the only band that's played at every one of our birthday parties) and Organ Meats and The Guilloteenagers and Blue Manic and The Electric Heaters and it's gonna be so much fun!

DnA's Evolution, 2019

And then to wrap things up on Sunday (you guessed it - August 29th) we figure that people*** might not be the brightest-eyed or bushiest-tailed so we're mostly bringin' in the soothingest sounds we can in the form of Sunken City and The Weisstronauts (for the second day in a row!) and The Electric Heaters (for the second day in a row!) and also DnA's Evolution for that part of the day where you're all like "hell yeah man, I'm gonna rally!" right before you go home and take a nap for six hours.

And even with so many rad bands in our lineup, we're still gonna do the thing we always do and brew a dang ol' beer for every band! We're jazzed as hell that all these bands signed up to be a part of this weekend that is - frankly - a bit ridiculous, so we figured the best thing we could do is give y'all the proper beverage pairings for all these tunes! But we won't be gettin' into all those details just yet and it's definitely not because we don't yet know what the beers will be.

* Except the water. We didn't really need that much more water.
** As opposed to most of the months last year, which were somehow simultaneously eight years long and eight seconds long.
*** Mostly us, tbh

In Which We Begin to Party

6/23/2021

Well hello again! After a peculiar* start to our week, we're right on rockin' and rollin' and that's a good thing because it's once again that that magical time of year when we spend every moment of every day getting amped about and/or shouting about our upcoming birthday party! We actually usually start all the "pre-celebration yelling" much earlier, but it turns out that things are all complicated this year and anyway we've got some fun beer stuff to talk about first so let's get to it!

Not a cocktail, but tastes like a cocktail.

And first up on that ol' list of fun times and/or tasty beers is Critters XIII! Since it's following hot on the heels of its predecessor (the cleverly-named Critters XII), we figured we'd throw a bit of a "curveball" and whoa nelly is this ball curvy. Born from our desire to see what would happen if we dumped a bunch of ginger puree into a brett beer, this beer brings the ginger and a buncha funk and just some general darkness and/or storminess (in that it very much tastes like a Dark 'n Stormy. Trust us, you gotta try this one). Anyway, it's on tap right now and we've got a pretty limited quantity so you should come getcha some!

Revels! Triumph! Adventure! New hop combo!

And if you're in the mood for something a bit less funky, this Friday we're releasing a brand-spankin'-new IPA (on draft and in cans) called Into the Unknown! We put a bunch of our favorite stuff in it, so we know it's good, but you should still probably drink a bunch of it so you know for yourself!

It begins...

Okay! Lastly! Our birthday party! Since the taproom is turning FIVE FRIGGIN' YEARS OLD this year and since last year's party was a little more.... restrained than we would have liked it to be, we figured we'd go as all-out as possible for 2021.

We're still in the process of figuring out what some of that means** but we figured we'd give you a little "teaser" on the stuff we have figured out. Anyway, our last birthday party featured seven bands over the course of a day, and that was completely rad but it was also... kind of a lot? Logistically? So with that in mind, this year we figured we'd take our one day celebration and stretch it out into THREE WHOLE*** DAYS (specifically August 27, 28, and 29) and we've currently got an as-yet-undetermined number of bands (we've already gotten confirmation from a bunch. Maybe eight? Ten? I don't even know anymore) and some cool vendors (both food and otherwise) and we've maybe got a few other tricks up our sleeves**** and anyway keep your eyes peeled for more concrete details because we're gonna be hootin' and hollerin' about this for a little while yet and also it's gonna be fun and you should come!

* At the start of the week, we were accused - via two separate but identical emails from "A Concerned Parent" - of supporting a "dishonest and destructive organization." Turns out this person didn't like our Black Lives Matter flags and wanted to find the most condescending possible way to tell us that. I would say "there's a lot to unpack here," but my head starts to hurt if I think about it for more than three seconds, so there will be no unpacking done today.
** We've also got a few added wrinkles from a planning perspective, like the fact that we don't really have a way to expand our physical space this year (at least not without several other tenants in the building throwing tantrums).
*** I mean, there probably won't be a ton happening early in the day on Friday, so it's not three WHOLE days. We don't expect you to take time off of work for this or anything.
**** We do not have other tricks up our sleeves.

Howdy, friends! It's been a completely normal week around here, so we figured we'd go right on ahead and push things even further toward "normal" (which, paradoxically, feels pretty dang weird) and anyway here's a bunch of completely normal things that are happening!

One step closer!

First on up, we're bringin' back our old hours! As much as we used to like to grouse about how everything was changing every two weeks back when we were receiving broad, sweeping government mandates all the damn time, we still felt like we'd keep up our "back to normal" momentum and expand our hours back to what they used to be, so as of right now* we're open until 11 Monday thru Saturday!

So Pride, much tank

And speaking of normalcy, we've got Pride tanks back in stock! We had actually tried pretty hard to get them back in stock a bunch earlier (y'know, for the release of our Pride beer or at least for the beginning of June), but it turns out that the massive problems affecting the global shipping industry (among other things) don't just go away as soon as the governor lifts a few covid policies. Who knew? But hey, Pride tanks!

Achievement unlocked: taproom mural becomes can art

Anyway, moving right along to more completely normal things, this Friday we're releasing a new beer in cans! It's a hoppy saison named Lil' Goblin and it features a couple of our favorite** hops (Triple Pearl and Grüngeist) and it's tasty as heck and you should come drink some!

Next week's blog will feature a painful shotgun session of this beverage

And! Lastly but far from leastly (and also completely normal), next Monday (June 21st) is the release of The Great Equalizer! If you ain't "in the know" on this one yet, the podcast Vox & Hops (which focuses on heavy metal and beer, both of which are near and dear to our hearts) is doing a bigass collab where 20+ breweries get paired up with metal bands and we all release beers in the same week (and also there's hot sauce involved? Somehow?) and we got paired up with the new-to-us death metal band Fuming Mouth (who you should absolutely listen to BTW) and (at their suggestion, we might add) we made a badass smoked brown ale and it's gonna be in cans soon and you should come grab some!

* And by "right now" I mean "Monday, which was at least two days ago"
** Truth be told, we have a lot of favorite hops.

In Which the Barstools Make a Long-Awaited Return

6/8/2021

0 Comments

Well hey there! Welcome back to our blog! This week we're comin' atcha with some largely-unsurprising news and also some stuff about beer,* so read on and read up!

Woop woop woop woop

Bar seats are back! While we weren't quite comfortable jumping in with both feet back to "the way things used to be" the moment the restrictions got lifted, we felt like it was time to make that next step back toward normalcy (or what passes for normalcy around here). And now the real noodle-scratcher is: did we feel like things Out In The World are actually getting better/safer, or did we just get tired of turning away grumpy boomers who are stubbornly hellbent on sitting at the bar (and only at the bar)? We'll let you draw your own conclusions on that one.

Go on, grab a seat. Spin around. Throw a coaster at your bartender.

Oh! And it's also worth mentioning that, with the return of bar seating, we're partly doing away with our table-service-only situation. We'll still be doing table service in the lower part of the beer garden (i.e. the asphalt) because "people who have been drinking" plus "carrying glassware" plus "stairs" is really not a recipe for success, but if you're inside or on the terrace (i.e. our raised, covered patio) you're welcome to saunter on up to the bar just like old times!

You best gets a steppin', because with this heat, this may very well be the last cask release until the fall

And speaking of things that are just like old times, we're tappin' another cask this Thursday! This time around we're goin' back to our favorite beer to put on cask (Extra Naked, obviously) and we "juiced it up" with some new-to-us hops (Hydra and cashmere) and it's gonna be mighty tasty!

Stupid birds think they're so great, with their feathers and whatever. We'll show them!

And while we're talking about beer, it behooves us forthwith to tell you about the new** beer we have in bottles: Yelling at Birds! For this particular blend, we took our beloved tripel and aged it in a buncha blueberry liqueur barrels that we got from our friends over at Short Path and we daresay it's mighty tasty!

Any day we get to combine our loves of heavy metal and craft beer is a good day

Also! Lastly! We're stoked to announce say that we're a part of the Vox & Hops Brewtal North America collab! For those of you who haven't heard of this project yet, the heavy metal podcast Vox & Hops put together a bigass collab project where a bunch of breweries get paired up with a bunch of metal bands and everybody releases a beer at/around the same time and we got paired up with the new-to-us death metal band Fuming Mouth (who are completely awesome, btw) and they suggested a smoked brown ale (which is pretty friggin' metal tbh) and it's coming out at the end of the month!

* Having news about beer on a brewery's blog is also probably not something you'd want to file under "surprising"
** We would have announced it sooner, but we had no idea when the hell the labels were gonna show up. Turns out the label industry is having some fun issues right now.

In Which There is a Cask to be Proud About

6/2/2021

Hi friends, welcome back to this ol' blog! We're pretty dang ol' excited to share with you something that's kinda-sorta new to our taproom (and also kinda-sorta not at all new), and that of course means...

Muffins! Wait wrong blog

Cask! But wait, there's more - this is no ordinary cask. Yes indeedy, we got the ol' cask itch,* but the only caskable beer at the time** was Pride and Pomegranate, so we figured we'd give that fruity lil' number a go on the ol' beer engine! And since it's a fruity beer, we figured it wouldn't make sense to just dump a buncha hops in there (though that probably would have been good), so instead we primed it with a buncha pomegranate juice and added some lactose why not and we're honestly pretty curious to see how this one turns out but I bet it's gonna be tasty, though we'll have to wait until Thursday to find out!

If the regular version is any indication, y'alls in for treat

...aaaand that's pretty much all we done got for this week! It's hopefully unlikely that we'll be dealing with another summer o' constant rule changes, so let's hope for Business As Usual for a while!

* That... that really isn't a good phrase. We're probably not gonna use that one again.
** Casks take a couple weeks to condition once they're filled, hence the delay on this particular cask release (bonus fun fact: when talking about casks "condition" actually just refers to carbonation. So if you say a cask doesn't have enough condition, you're really just saying that it's flat and maybe being a little pretentious about doing so).

In Which Everything is Changing, Except For the Things That Aren't

5/26/2021

Howdy-do friendaroos! We've got a whole buncha fun taproom rule/policy changes now that the Official Government Policy has abruptly changed to "let's pretend like covid never happened," but that's a whole buncha nitty gritty so we figured we'd start with the fun part and that's beer!

And hot dogs!

And first on the ol' docket is something that's not actually beer at all, but which is beer-related so we'll just roll with it and that's holiday hours! This upcoming weekend is one of them "long weekends" that we keep hearing so much about* and anyway that means that Monday May 31 we will be open from 12-8!

We set out to make an entirely new party-themed ginger farmhouse blend for you (we even had a name locked and loaded) and then during our group tasting we accidentally ended up right back at the Disco. Sooo... enjoy round two!

And moving on to actual beer, we're stoked to announce the rerelease of a beer that was a fast favorite around these parts: Ginger Disco! We took our beloved ginger farmhouse and aged it in a bunch of blueberry liqueur barrels (specifically Summer Reserve barrels from our friends at Short Path) and whoo-ee is it tasty and it's on tap and in bottles right now and we sure do recommend that you getcha some!

Fruity and fabulous!

And. AND. On top of the return of the disco, we're also releasing this year's Pride beer! This time around we took a nice 'n light lil' session beer and dumped a crapton of pomegranate in it and it's gonna be in cans and on tap starting on Friday!

wE bEaT u CoViD LoL

And that's it for beer, so now we get to get to all the fun rule changes! Now, as you may have heard 5,000 times already, the governor recently announced that all covid-related restrictions and policies and whatnot are being rolled back on May 29th. But! It turns out that's an exaggeration - some of the rules/restrictions are still hanging around, albeit in a more relaxed form (though we're not 100% clear on which rules are staying, or how relaxed they are). And on top of all that, we're also under the jurisdiction of the ABCC (who are essentially the Beer Police) and the City of Everett and they both also changed-but-didn't-quite-remove a bunch of rules and they seem to have put a lot of effort into making sure that there is no possible way for us to know what the hell is going on, which is going to make things pretty fun.

So! Without any further hemmin' or hawin', here's a list of what is gonna change and what ain't gonna change (yet), at least as far as we can figure:

What is changing:

There's no more mask mandate, so that means you ain't gotta wear one if you don't want to. We still encourage you to wear a mask if you're in a crowd, but that might just be because we feel naked without ours.
Group size limit has been increased to ten (from six). But with that being said, we won't be rearranging any furniture to accommodate larger groups (our biggest tables seat six, eight if you're very comfortable with each other). So in other words, if you wanna roll deep you'll need to split up.
No more signing in. As entertaining as it is to hear people fret about how "the government" is tracking them, we're not taking names anymore which means that the gubbermint will need to get your phone number some other way.
There's no more food requirement. As much as we were really hoping to sell an entire cow's worth of hot dogs this year, we no longer need to pretend to be a restaurant, so now it's your choice if you want to eat several hot dogs or not (what a concept)!
Beer delivery has to stop once the State of Emergency ends on June 15th. We think that's kind of silly (there's no compelling reason not to allow us to deliver beer), but that's not gonna be the hill we die on so we'll just roll with it.

What isn't changing (yet):

Our staff will still be wearing masks, at least for the nearish future. We're all vaccinated, but we get that not everybody is comfortable with sudden reversals in policy, so we'll do what we can to help you ease back into "normalcy."
We'll be holding off on reintroducing communal games. Frankly, this is as much about safety as it is about not wanting to clean Battleship pieces out of our parking lot for the next couple of months.
We're keeping table service and holding off on bringing back bar seating. This is partly logistical (it would be a train wreck if everybody in the beer garden had to order at the bar) and partly because we're still not the most jazzed about crowded indoor spaces (and also very few people opt to sit inside when it's nice out anyway, rendering that issue moot for a while). It's also probably worth mentioning that we're only allowed to do "seated service" anyway, but that's in line with what we're already doing.
We will continue not having a dance floor, which was pointedly mentioned by the ABCC (in general, not to us specifically).

So in other words, everything is changing, except for all the things that aren't.

Make sense? Cool. Our heads are spinning just like everybody else's are, but we've gotten through weirder crap than this, so we'll just post up at a picnic table with a buncha beers and hot dogs and ride this one out like we always do. Cheers!

* I heard that some of you guys get days off? How do you get days off, I want days off.

In Which the Government Just... Goes For It

5/18/2021

Alrightyroo kiddos and squiddos, it's been three whole weeks since we've gotten any Big News from the state about how every single rule and regulation is changing (again) on a moment's notice, which means we're due* and hoo-ee is this a biggun! And since we're light on beer news this week anyway (which will very much not be the case next week), we're gonna cut right on down to the brass tacks and get right into it:

Secret's out: the sunsets from our beer garden are top notch.

Anyway, in the unlikely event that you haven't heard, it was announced the other day that pretty much all restrictions on everything everywhere in Massachusetts are being lifted on May 29th. And, true to style, the official statement included helpful phrasing like "officials also recommend fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear a face covering or social distance indoors or outdoors except for in certain situations.” So... you don't need to wear a mask, unless you do. Got it? Got it. But on the plus side, they did make a point of specifically saying that ball pits can reopen, which is something we were deeply worried about.

I mean, where eLsE would we be shotgunning cans of Wasted Life

Anyway, while we are looking forward to a (hopeful) decrease in the number of grown-ass adults throwing tantrums about the (largely reasonable) rules we have to enforce, it does bear mentioning that our entire beer garden was created and set up to comply with covid safety guidelines. So in other words, that means we're gonna have to change some things, probably lots of things, but we kinda sorta have no idea what will change or how since this pretty much came out of the blue and we only have like a week to figure it out.

We will definitely not be hiding on top of the cold room eating snacks while we figure this out

I guess this is just a long-winded way of saying that we also have no idea what the hell is going on, but you probably already knew that. Anyway, we're gonna get to figurin' on that and we'll let you know as soon as we do!

P.S. We (with lots of other cool brewers from all over!) contributed to an article about homebrewing and the folks behind that site asked us very nicely to mention them in their blog, so here is an article about homebrewing. If you're looking to get into it as a hobby and need a good FAQ or equipment list, it's a good read!

* It seems that we're getting new and sweeping changes every three weeks this year, as opposed to last year's two week Drastic Change Cycle.
