And, lastly, on Sunday we've got our pals from TC Scoops comin' by in their ice cream bus! I don't really need to sell you on the concept of "ice cream in July," so come on out!
Hello again! We're back at it with a whole mess o' beer (including the return of a couple old favorites) and some hella fun times lined up for the weekend, so check out all this stuff we're doin'! Just gonna leave this here First on up is yet another band beer for the anniversary and this time around it's the return of the dark horse favorite from last year: Seven X's! We made this tasty lil' ESB to pair with the music of The Weisstronauts and we liked it so much we couldn't really conceive of brewing them anything else this year and so we brewed it again and it's gonna be in cans on Friday and you should come drink some! Cue Homer Simpson drooling meme And speaking of old favorites making their return to the taproom, we figured it was high time we rebrewed Key Lime White, so we rebrewed Key Lime White! Yes indeedy, our former flagship has returned to the fray and it's gonna be on tap and in cans on Friday and we're pretty dang stoked to have this beer back and we hope you are too! You nagged us incessantly, so here ya go And speaking of Friday, this Friday is July's Band Hangouts night! We're gettin' heavy again this month and we've got a stacked lineup featuring Aversed and My Missing Half and Fallen Monarch and Sink With Me! This event is also celebrating the release of some new tracks from Aversed (featuring their new vocalist), which is why we brewed that beer with them a little while back (specifically Death Lullaby, named after the upcoming single of the same name) so we'll be hangin' out with a buncha cool musicians and drinking some music-themed beer and you should come by! Band friends! And then on Saturday we're startin' the day off right (and early) with yoga in the beer garden starting at 10:30! Then at night we're tryin' something that's a little new to us and that's comedy in the beer garden! Starting at 8:30, a series of comedians will be takin' the stage and helpin' you get your giggle on, so come check it out! (note: this is a ticketed event, but there will be tickets at the door) And, lastly, on Sunday we've got our pals from TC Scoops comin' by in their ice cream bus! I don't really need to sell you on the concept of "ice cream in July," so come on out! Fun times!
Howdy do kids and squids! You may be well surprised to hear that we've got good beer and fun times and fun beer and good times and new beer and ... new .. times .. and anyway let's get on with the beer and/or times! And the first item rockin' the docket is Nameless Wave This here is the latest of our anniversary style band beers and it's made to pair with the sonic stylings of our Powerviolence friends in Sexless Marriage! This is one of the last band beers we'll be releasing except for the other seven that are still In Progress but anyway it's a big ol' double IPA full of an intense blend of hoppy goodness and after that all I can really say is that we *definitely* remember all the ingredients we put in there and more to the point it's delicious and you should have some! Beer! For your mouth! And moving on into fun times, this Wednesday (i.e. tonight) we're doin' up some action movie trivia! Yes indeedy, Matt's been scratchin' his noggin over a buncha the olde-skool (and also somewhat newer school) classic action flicks and he's gettin' trivial about it! So if you wanna strut your stuff on your knowledge of the Golden Age of Action Movies (which, if we're being honest, tend to involve a lot of cocaine usage, and that's just the on-screen stuff) then come on out! And then movin' on into tasty times for the weekend, we've got HotChix in the house on Friday and then on Saturday we're bringin' in Sandwich Boy so the point is that if you want chicken and/or sandwiches and/or fried foods, this weekend is your dang ol' time to shine! Snacks! Also for your mouth! And speaking of the weekend, on Saturday we've got a whole buncha live music! We've got Britpop and mod rock and a DJ and surf rock and probably at least one other thing and anyway it's gonna be a hell of a lot of fun (and, as previously mentioned, there will be sandwiches) and you should come hang out! Sounds! For your ears! And! Next week! If you're the "planning ahead" type, next Friday is the next installment of Band Hangouts and we've got Aversed (of Death Lullaby fame) and Fallen Monarch hangin' out and it's gonna be a dang ol' good time and you should probably come out!
Hello again! We're back in action with yet another beer-filled week and some beer-fueled fun times and that's pretty much always the deal so let's get to the nitty and/or gritty! But first, pet portraits. (Trust me, you don't wanna miss the next one of these painting classes. So fun!) First on up is a new beer that's out on draft right now and it's an amber called Where's Chris? and it's mighty tasty if we do say so ourselves! It's named in honor of our erstwhile bartender Chris who you've almost definitely seen if you've been here on a Saturday at pretty much any point in the last six years (or if you've ever come to Simpsons Trivia) and anyway it turns out that we can't name a beer "Fuck Off Chris" and there are already a jillion beers named "Good Riddance" so here we are! Our choices were between "Where's Chris?" and "Amber for Draft" And as a complete coincidence we've got another beer we're keggin' off this week and it's named Don't Go but this one has nothing to do with Chris (or any of our staff, for that matter). This one's a beer that we're brewing to pair with the tunes of The Guilloteenagers as they rock out onstage at our anniversary party this year and it's a bit bittersweet because their guitarist is moving to Canada but also it's all good because he'll be here for the show and I guess i should talk a little about the beer which is a tasty lil' bright 'n tropical session IPA that's gonna be on draft soon (we need to free up a draft line first) so keep them eyes peeled! We do not blame you for moving to Canada, Matt and Camille And speaking of beers that will be on draft at some point, we recently brewed up our six hundredth batch which is pretty cool so we did what we're wont to do for such occasions and we brewed up a big stupid beer (a barleywine of sorts, in this case) and most of it is destined to be barrel-aged but we'll be tappin' a bit of it once it's ready (which will be at some point after this weekend and also once Joybringer kicks) and anyway it's gonna be tasty times! DRINK MORE BARLEYWINE And movin' on into Fun Times, on Thursday we've got our regularly-scheduled Simpsons Trivia with our lovely host Chris (remember him? From a few paragraphs ago? No? Us either) and the theme is Season Seven, which means studying will be fun and anyway you should come join us!
And then on Friday if you happen to be somewhere that is not our taproom (which we do not advise), we'll be hangin' at Seabiscuit! Yes indeedy, Liz and/or Jared will be hangin' out and slingin some samples and stuff alongside the best meat pies this side of the equator, so come say hi! Then on Saturday we're kickin' off the day with Stoner Metal Yoga! Crystal is comin' by to lead y'all through an all-levels yoga class, set to the tunes of Sleep and Monolord and all that good stuff (which, if you haven't noticed, is pretty much completely our jam) and it's gonna be a good time and you should come by! And if you needed extra incentive to come by on Saturday (or if yoga and/or stoner metal ain't your thing) we've got El Pelon makin' their taproom debut with their taco cart and they make some mighty tasty eats so you should probably show 'em a warm welcome and/or eat their tacos! And speaking of taproom newcomers with tasty eats, we've got Tubb's Doughnuts in the house on Sunday! We don't know a hell of a lot about them, but we do know that doughnuts are good and we're gonna eat some and you should too! And then movin' a little ways past the weekend, it behooves us to let you know that next Wednesday we're hosting Action Movie Trivia! It's not on our normal trivia night (which is Thursday) but otherwise you pretty much know what to expect, so come on out! Well hey there! We've got a right packed week(end) ahead of us, so let's get on with it! And leadin' that ol' charge as always is beer! We've got quite a bit in the pipeline these days and the first one to grace our taps is gonna be Hop Chariot! This beer is born out of a combined desire to a) have another IPA on tap, and 2) brew an IPA that has any amount of talking points other than "it's an IPA, I dunno just drink it." So anyway we've been getting a fair amount of hops from new(ish)-to-us Hang 'Em High Hops out in Michigan (because MI-grown hops are honestly quite nice) and we felt the need to just cram a whole crapton of 'em (specifically Gemini, Paradigm, and Emerald Spire) into one IPA and it'll be on draft Thursday and in cans on Friday and you should drink some! No, YOU'RE reusing the Kegasus artwork And speaking of beers that are coming out this weekend, we've got another anniversary beer comin' out on draft this weekend! This time it's a kiwi grisette that we brewed for our pals in Sunken City (who have played our anniversary party quite a few times at this point) and we're calling it Float Along and it's gonna be on tap on Sunday (possibly earlier) and it's gonna be tasty as heck! Am I the only person in the world who eats kiwis with the skin on? I might be And movin' on into events for the weekend, we've got Glam Rock Trivia happening on Thursday and then HotChix is in the house on Friday and we've got Decimation Deli comin' by on Saturday (and their sandwiches are SO GOOD) and then on Sunday we're doin' up Hot Sauce Fest! Yes indeedy, we're gatherin' up a buncha cool hot sauce vendors (Alchemy Peppers, Craic Sauce, Lizard Mill, and Hillside Harvest) and they'll be dishin' out samples and tinglin' your tastebuds from noon to four, so come on by! Tinglytangyspicysweet And dipping our toes into the heady waters of Next Week, we've got some cool events scheduled! Who woulda thunk? Anyway, on Tuesday we have a Paint Your Pets workshop! This is a new-to-us event and the gist is that you send the organizers a photo of your pet beforehand (it's a tickets-in-advance kinda thing, natch) and they'll sketch it onto a canvas for you and then teach you how to recreate that photo in paint form! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find the stupidest possible photo of my dogs so that I can paint it. Tickets: https://bit.ly/3ReOyzr It's going to be a very difficult decision Oh! Wait! I got so excited about painting that I forgot to mention Simpsons Trivia next Thursday! The theme is Season Seven and you'll have to study a bit to beat the reigning champs, but you don't have to do no studyin' at all to have fun at trivia (we are living proof), so come on by! And! Lastly! Here's the coloring contest winners from June! Adequate work, everybody! |
