In Which the Ol' Collab Train Make Stops in Beverly and Malden (Choo Choo)!

4/24/2024

Howdy do friendaroos! We're back to shout some more about those collabs what we got comin' out, so let's get with it!

First on up is next Friday (May 3rd) at Gentile (in Beverly) and they'll be releasin' up a pink peppercorn saison we brewed with them and since the recipe has a ...passing similarity to a beer that's near and dear to our hearts (namely Extra Naked) so it's gettin' called The Same, But Different* and we'll be up at their taproom hangin' out for the evening and you should join us!

And the next collab we've got comin' out is a collab with Faces and it's scheduled for later** in May and the beer's a tasty-ass amber lager that we've been calling Goblin Mode (and we think Faces is also calling it that, but we could be wrong there) and Faces wanted to do a show in conjunction with the release party because they're pals like that and we are mega stoked about the bands on the bill but you're gonna have to sit tight until we announce it (which should be, like, tomorrow, honestly) so keep them eyes peeled!

* Other than having a lot of the same stats - ABV, IBU, etc. - it's also got a very similar hop bill to Extra Naked. But also most of the recipe is a Gentile Original
** Way later. We were hoping to be able to use this blog announce that the release is planned for the 31st, but we don't have Official Confirmation yet so we gotta play it cool for now

In Which We Get Our NERAX On

4/10/2024

Oh hi! How are you? We're great, thanks for asking! We just thought we'd "pop in" to give y'all a "quick update" on all that "fun stuff we talked about last week."

And first on up is NERAX! It's the best dang beer fest around, and while it is indeed a mega bummer that this is the first NERAX in a long time that won't have Kelly on the menu, we're still hella stoked to be goin' there and we (Liz and Jared and probably some more of the ol' Bone Up Crew) will be there TONIGHT (Wednesday) bendin' our elbows and hangin' out and all that fun stuff, so come on out and support your local cask scene with us!

And speaking of "supporting" beer that's "local" we've got a collab release comin' up in a few weeks! We partnered up with our pals at Gentile in Beverly and brewed up a tasty lil' table beer dosed with a dollop of dry hops and a punch of pink peppercorns and I think we're callin' it The Same But Different and we're doin' a release event on Friday May 3rd and we'll be there doin' what we do (awkwardly staring at our feet until we get a couple beers in us, then getting into increasingly-impassioned conversations about cartoons) and you should come on out and drink some beer with us!

AND. Speaking of collabs. We've also got a collab in the works with our friends at Faces! I don't think we've announced the release party yet because this one's got a few more moving parts (as in, there's gonna be a show involved as well) but you should probably try and keep Friday May 31st free just in case we *do* end up having this shindig on the date that I think we're gonna. Anyway the beer itself is an amber lager (hence the longer turnaround time) and I can't remember if we came up with a name for it but I do know it's gonna be tasty as all heck, so get them tastebuds ready!

In Which the Collab Tour Continues!

4/3/2024

Howdy friends! It's been a dang ol' minute since we've had any "news you can use" around here* but as luck would have it we've got several things to talk about, and talk we shall!

And first on that ol' list is a collab! Last week we ambled on over to see our friends at Faces and brewed up a sure-to-be-tasty amber lager! But it turns out that lagers take a dang ol' while to make, so it's gonna be a bit before it gets released but also that means we can put together a rad-as-hell release shindig! The fine folks at Faces wanted to pair the release with a show for Maximum Bone Up Vibes so that's exactly what we're doin', only I don't know if we're allowed to share the details yet so for now I'll just suggest that you keep them peepers peeled for something next month!

Like Smart People, we forgot to get a family photo on the brew day itself, so enjoy a buncha photos of Brendan's brewing kit!

And our second order of business is also a collab! This one's a bit farther afield in the far-off lands of Beverly and more to the point we teamed up with Gentile to make a dry hopped lil' table beer with a buncha pink peppercorns in it and it's gonna be a tasty treat! This one's gonna fly through fermentation a bit faster so the release party is penciled in for the very beginning of May but we'll keep you posted when we've got things locked and ready to rock!

This was seriously a blast. Thank you Paul for hosting us!

Oh! And! This is less "fun beer news" and more "a suggestion to come hang out at a fun beer thing we'll be attending" and that's Nerax! Nerax is pretty much our favorite fest ever (it's all cask beer, mostly session strength, and you can get full pours. And also it's in the Lithuanian club for some reason) and we'll be hangin' out and bendin' our elbows at that fest all evening on Wednesday, so come on by and hang out!

* We did briefly consider maintaining the once-per-week blogging schedule even if it was just to find a new way to say "nothin' else new goin' on around here" much like we did in the Old Days, but it turns out it was a lot easier to muster enthusiasm for that back when we had hopes and/or dreams.
