Hello again! This might be the first time in a while (and will likely be the last time for a while) that we don't have any brand-spankin' new beers comin' out for y'all to enjoy. But! We do have some fresh batches of some Old Favorites that are finding their ways into our lives right about right now!

First on that ol' chopping block - as in, on tap now - is Ruby Rye Mild! Nothing quite eases you into the crisp briskness of fall quite like something easygoing and brownish, so we brought back this lil' ol' delight! ​

Then on Sunday we're gettin' right on into the Spooktacular Spirit with some pumpkin carving! We'll have the tools and the pumpkins and some beers for "creative inspiration" so all you gotta do is show up! And then carve a pumpkin! And drink some beer! (I know, it sounds like a lot of things to do for a Sunday, but we're pretty sure it'll be fun as heck)

Oh! And! Remember when we released Nerd Farm a couple weeks back? It was brewed with an upcoming beer dinner in mind, and this delectable dinner is  happening in Cambridge on Monday evening! Check out the menu below, and meet us at Catalyst in Kendall for a tasty evening!

And of course we'd be remiss if we started a whole new month without mentioning the September coloring contest winners! Congrats to Amanda S., our first place winner, and our lovely runners up!

Then the day after that - specifically Friday - we're once again hosting our friends from Eat More Mexican! If you like burritos that taste good, you should probably come eat these burritos (because they taste good). ​

And speaking of Brato (and our friends at Bonetown Burgers), our first annual Settle the Beef! Chili Cookoff is but a mere week and a half away! If you haven't heard us shouting about how the world needs a) more chili and 2) more made up rivalries, you can experience both in the same place (our taproom) next Saturday! And to spice up this heap o 'fun we have planned, we've got Showdown, our chili milk stout collab with Brato, waitin' in the wings to get tapped at noon sharp that day. So come on out! Maybe even wear your new flannel! 

Lastly but not leastly, at some undetermined point by or before next week, we've got a new beer goin' on tap! See, our friends over at Catalyst wanted to do a beer dinner with us, and heck yes of course we want to do a beer dinner because beer dinners are a lot of fun, and then they suggested that maybe it might be even more fun if we made a special beer for that beer dinner. And I dunno if you know our feelings on fun (we're for it), but suffice to say we were all over that like stink on a monkey and now we've got this tasty-ass grisette just waiting to be tapped so you can drink it!

Oh hi there! I sure hope you're ready for some new beers and some fun events and some new beers brewed specifically for said fun events and also some snacks, because that's what we've got for ya!

​Hello friends! I hope you're well. We've got good taste for your mouth and good times for your enjoy, so pull up a website and sit a spell.

First up, this Thursday is Simpsons Trivia Night! So if you're lookin' to pit your wits and/or get your reminisce on about some old favorites, come on by! And as an added bonus (which, it turns out, nobody really cares about), we'll have a super-secret* one-night-only beertail for all your trivial needs!

Well hello. We've been expecting you. ​

Also on Saturday, we're pouring at a cask fest on the Cape! We did a similar fest with these folks a few months back and it was a pretty rad time, so we're right stoked to be headed back for round two! This time around we're totin' a couple birthday beers, so if you want you some Blood Built or Jaunty on cask, come on by and say hi!

For those of y'all that weren't around to share in our second anniversary festivities, we'll recap briefly by saying that it was one hell of a fun day and we are humbled and honored and straight-up overwhelmed by the sheer number of rad people who came out to have a good time at our birthday party. Turns out there's a whole lotta y'all who have been with us since (or nearly since) the dang beginning - either here in person or followin' along online or some mix of the two - and it was just completely heartwarming to see all y'all that day. We might not have gotten to stop and chat with everybody we wanted to,* and even when we did it was a bit more rushed than we might have liked, so we'd like to (last time, I promise) thank you again for coming.

Thank you for coming in to our brewery over the past couple years and drinking our weird old man beers and putting up with our near-constant production/expansion/buildout delays and being a part of our (admittedly somewhat niche) events and participating in the fun activities we put in the taproom for you and jeez I don't even know what else. Everything else. Thanks for being you, and thanks for enjoying what we do. 

Oh! And! On Sunday, we'll be slingin' mini Union Square Donuts because that's apparently a thing we do on long weekends now. Come satiate your sweet tooth!

Lastly, we thought it might be prudent to "clear the air" about what all is going on with our "expanded taproom" since it was "open for one day and one day only." And, as always, the answer is as unsatisfying as it is boring. ​

Basically we were able to open up the new side of the taproom this past weekend because we had a one-day permit to do so (which is also why we had y'all drinkin' in the parking lot), but there's a lot of building code stuff that still needs done before we can have that be a permanent thing. It's all fire exits and sprinklers and exit signs and ventilation and stuff like that - stuff that doesn't really make it look any more done, but which (it turns out) is pretty important to the building department. We've got our optimism set on having things in ship-shape (or at least ship-ish shape) towards the end of Patio Season, since that's when it get's a bit overly cozy in here, but we'll see. 

Oh! And there's a cask! Of course there's a cask. There's always a cask. And depending on how the weekend goes up until that point, there might be two! See, we're tappin' a cask of DNA on Thursday because we got excited and didn't want to wait until Saturday (though there will probably be a fair amount left come Saturday), but we didn't want to be cask-free for any amount of the day so as soon as that one kicks we'll be throwin' on a cask of Blood Built! 

And if you happen to be out in the Big Wide World this weekend and you're lookin' to do some drinkin' for a good cause, you should come on by and say hi at Brew At The Zoo this Saturday! It's a pretty rad fest (beers? Check. Wild animals? Check. The ability to make a fool of yourself by chasing a peacock around for twenty minutes? Check) and it supports a good cause and there's food so you should probably swing by!
