In Which We're All Doomed

6/7/2023

​Oh hey there! I hope you're in the mood for a buncha fun times and tasty beers because that's what we got comin' atcha! 

But first we'd like to thank everyone who came out for GARF last weekend - despite the drizzly dreariness of the day we managed to rock the heck out and in the process (and, of course, thanks to y'all's generosities) we managed to raise a thousand friggin' dollars for BAGLY and we think that's pretty friggin' rad! ​
Anyway moving on to the here and or now and here with the now we've got cask! More to the point it's the triumphant return of our 666th batch (namely, We're All Doomed) to the ol' beer engine and since this beer was literally made to be served on cask, it's pretty much perfect? Anyway it's gettin' tapped on Thursday and hopefully there'll be some left for the doomy festivities this weekend but we've got more beer stuff to get through before we get to that, so let's get on with it!
Picture
And get on with it we shall, for the next beer up on our List Of Beers To Talk About is Django! Django is a delicious hazy IPA made in honor of the memory of a cute lil' corgi (named Django, if you can believe it) and it's full of a whole bunch of our most favoritest hops and anyway it's on draft and in cans right now and you should drink some!
And what of cans, you ask? Well I'm glad you asked because we've got another new(ish) beer in cans and it's Stick the Landing! This beer first graced our menu for the anniversary last year and we're downright stoked to say that it's back again (which means we've got TWO milds on the menu at the same time, which is both ridiculous and very exciting for us) and anyway it's also available right now and it's tasty as ever!
And movin' on to all the cool stuff we've got planned for you, we're startin' off strong tonight (Wednesday) with two cool things happening in/around the taproom! The first (or "first" since they're at the same time) is our monthly Fiddle Jam Session, wherein a buncha folks gather together to play some old timey tunes and you're welcome to join in the fun (either playing or listening)! 

And then also tonight (which, again, is Wednesday) we've got a Suminagashi Coaster Workshop! This one's new to us, but it seems like a super cool way to do some art and also all the photos we've seen from previous classes have been friggin' gorgeous, so come check it out! 

And then on Thursday we've got another night of Simpsons Trivia! The theme this month is "Bart" which is maybe not the easiest to study for but it'll for sure be a fun time and you should come out!
Picture
And then starting on Friday is the day(s) that you've been waiting for and that's Boston is Doomed! We're gettin' a whole buncha doom/stoner/fuzz bands from in and around the area (namely Blue Manic, Mollusk, and The Buffalo Ryders on Friday and Swarmcatcher, Ballast, Green Inferno, Crowfeeder, Sundrifter, and Black Pyramid on Saturday) and we're gonna rock out! We've also got  An Thoi Vietnamese poppin' up on Friday and Seabiscuit in the house on Saturday and it's gonna be hella fun and it's worth mentioning that it *is* a ticketed event but tickets ain't expensive and you can get them right here and you should come listen to some awesome music with us! ​
Picture
And on a related note, right in the middle of all that doominess, we've got Metal Yoga with Crystal in the morning on Saturday so if you wanna get your stretch on before you get your doom on, come on out!
Picture
And then on Sunday we're gonna have a yard sale! Why not! We'll be settin' up a table with a buncha odds 'n ends from around the brewery (mostly old/forgotten merch, but there's gonna be some beer/brewing stuff in there too. Pretty sure we've got the draft tower for a kegerator kickin' around somewhere) and we invited some friends to come by set up their own tables and we figured the perfect pairing for some hagglin' (other than beer) would be coffee so we've also got El Colombiano Coffee comin' by and poppin' up so we can get some real energetic bargaining goin' on and anyway that's also gonna be fun and you should swing by and buy some of our old crap!
Picture
And the fun times don't stop comin' at the end of the weekend, nosiree. We've got another pour painting class next Tuesday and another Vinyl 101 with Light of Day Records next Wednesday (and I haven't been to one of those yet, but I'm told it's a Worthwhile Experience) and the return of Bonsai Bar next Thursday which is also the same day as our Beer and Cheese Pairing with Formaggio Kitchen which will obviously be tasty times and then we're cappin' that off with a weekend fulla live music (Hall Monitor next Friday followed by the Punk Rock Picnic next Saturday) and anyway the point is that there's always cool stuff goin' on and you should come have fun with us!

In Which We Put on Our Dancing Jorts

5/30/2023

Hello again! It's once again time for us to do what we do best around this ol' blog and that means gettin' to the hip haps about what's on tap, so let's saddle up and sally forth! 

And before we get into whatever it is I was just talking about, we've got a bit of a "housekeeping note" and that's summer hours! More to the point, our summer hours have begun right now which means we open a little earlier (3 PM) and close a little later (11 PM) during the week so's y'all can have the maximum amount of Summer Fun Beer Garden Enjoyment!
Picture
And gettin' right back to the nitty and/or gritty we're kickin' off the weekend the same way we always do and that's with a cask! Yes indeedy, this Thursday we're once again firin' up the ol' beer engine and this time around it's staff favorite Extra Naked and I guess we musta been a bit nostalgic for the heady days of 2008 when we made this cask because we crammed it fulla Amarillo® (specifically Amarillo® LupoMax® cryo pellets, which means it's a futuristic throwback, which means it's ironical, which in turn means it's Art) and all kidding aside it's gonna be completely tasty as heck, so come grab a pint with us!
Picture
And speaking of tasty beers (but taking a brief detour away from "Thursday") we should probably mention that we've got a new beer available! Right now! This one is (technically) the first release for upcoming anniversary party (which isn't until August, but we're making so many dang beers for this thing we gotta plan ahead) and anyway it's a pale ale packed with spruce tips that we made to pair with the sounds of Clouds Taste Satanic and it's called Ales of Demonic Possession and it's mighty tasty (and also mighty sprucey**) and you should drink some!
Picture
And that's not the only new beer what we got comin' out this week but we'll get to the other one(s) in a minute because we gotta talk about the other cool stuff we got goin' on on Thursday and since it's the first that means trivia! This time around the theme (speaking of nostalgia) is "Nirvana vs Foo Fighters" and also we've got Seabiscuit poppin' up in the taproom and slingin' their savory and/or sweet pies and it's gonna be good times and good tastes galore!
Picture
And then on Friday we've got more live music in the taproom (and/or beer garden) and this time it's T. Bloodhound! He's played some tunes in the taproom before but that was a whole while ago and now he's back!
Picture
Then on Saturday we're keepin' the music train rollin' with GARF! GARF (which stands for "Gay Ass Rock Fest") is a combination show (featuring Tears From A Grieving Heart, Phagocyte, SINK, Throw, and K.O. Queen) slash marketplace (featuring Creeping Death Designs, Straps N Slaps Leather, Lucy Parsons Center, Black Mold Market, and Feral Fetish) slash charitable fundraiser (for BAGLY) and also it's a beer release party for this year's Pride beer! ​
Picture
The beer itself? A mid-strength saison packed fulla peaches and raspberries and a pinch of lactose for sweetness and it's ever so lovely (and the can art is cool as hell, which is why we also have t shirts with that art) and you should absolutely come hang and drink some and listen to music and if you're hungry grab some food from Breakfast Ninjas (did I mention that they're gonna be here on Saturday?) and it's gonna be a good time!
Picture
And then of course we've also got lots of cool stuff for you next week (and there might be another beer release thrown in the middle there somewhere? Unless there isn't?) and that starts next Wednesday when we've got both Fiddle Times (our monthly fiddle-centric free-to-join jam session) and a Suminagashi coaster workshop that sounds fun as hell and then next Thursday we've got Simpsons Trivia again and the theme is "Bart" because Chris is slowly turning into a being of pure chaos and then next Friday and Saturday we've got Boston is Doomed! That's our two-day-long (ticketed) show packed fulla doom and stoner rock and all kinds of groovy things (and also we're having a yard sale the day after that, because why not) and anyway the good times just keep on comin', so come on and enjoy them!

In Which We Tap the Greatest Cask of All Time (But That's, Just, Like, Our Opinion, Man)

5/24/2023

0 Comments

 
Oh hi! How are you? We're great, thanks for asking! And the reason we're great is that we've got a whole shitload (possibly even two shitloads) of cool stuff lined up for you this week, so let's get to it! 
Picture
And first on up as always is cask! This one's a cask that we* have been eagerly awaiting and that's We're All Doomed! This simple lil' mild belies a whole mess of deliciousness and this is a style that Truly Shines when it's on cask so we're downright stoked as hell to try some on Thursday** and you should come have some with us!
Picture
And speaking of beer, we've got beer to release! More to the point we've got a brand-spankin'-new beer that's not only a new band collab (with xXXXx, and we'll be doing a release shindig for it but we'll get to that in a minute) but also it's a style we've never brewed before! The beer is called Believe In Yourself and that's honestly a really appropriate name on account of how it's a Black IPA that clocks in at more of a "moderately dark brown" (it's our first try, give us a break) but more importantly it's hella fruity and super tasty and it's available in cans starting on Saturday and you should come have some!
Picture
And then gettin' on into the fun events what we've got in store for you, the weekend kicks off Wednesday (i.e. tonight) with a terrarium workshop! I don't have much to say about this except to point out that it's an unexpectedly zen experience to create a jar full of garden, and I recommend you check it out!
Picture
Then on Thursday we've got Left Couch Comedy back in the house for our monthly comedy night! And as a little "added bonus" (or not, depending on whether or not you like to listen to comedy on what appears to be the set of a horror movie) we've managed to "spruce up" the side room since the last comedy night and now there's curtains in front of all that plastic sheeting that we're using as a wall (which has been described, repeatedly, as "a little murdery") so if you wanna get your giggle on in a room that's mostly made out of curtains, come join us!
Picture
And then on Friday we're kickin' off a music-focused weekend*** with a solo show by Jim Healey! And while we're generally opposed to the "one guy with an acoustic guitar" style of live music, we caught Jim's set a little ways back and we really dug it, and we think you will too!
Picture
Then on Saturday we're kickin' off the day early (at 10:30 AM) with Emo Yoga hosted by Crystal and then a little later in the afternoon we've got new-to-us Code 1 BBQ poppin' up, and then a little later in the day (but still overlapping with the popup) we've got a show to coincide with the release of Believe In Yourself! We'll be hearing a set from xXXXx**** because they're the inspiration behind the collab beer (and who will also be bringin' some sweet limited-release collab t shirts) and they're gonna be joined by Last Sight and Rival Society and it's pretty much gonna be fun as hell so you might as well come rock out with us!
Picture
And movin' on to the murky waters of The Future, we've got some cool stuff lined up for you next week too! Next Thursday we've got Audio Triviality back in the house for Nirvana vs. Foo Fighters Trivia and then we're bringin' back the back-to-back music next week too, with T. Bloodhound next Friday and then GARF next Saturday. And what is GARF, you ask? Why it's none other than the release party for this year's Pride beer (and also the sick Pride shirts that we got featuring the can art for said beer) and also it's a Gay Ass Rock Fest, complete with a whole mess o' bands and vendors (focusing specifically on queer musicians/makers)! We've got tunes from Tears From A Grieving Heart and Phagocyte and SINK and Throw and K.O. Queen plus Creeping Death Designs and Straps N Slaps Leather and Feral Fetish will be settin' up shop out in the beer garden and the whole show is a benefit for BAGLY (a Boston-based, youth-led organization supporting and advocating for LGBQT+ programs in the community) and anyway it's gonna be fun as hell and also it's supporting a good cause and you should come hang with us!
Picture
* Jared and Ben
** Since this beer was made to be served at Boston is Doomed, we'll also have a cask of it tapped on that weekend. We tried to fill more than two casks of it but Liz wouldn't let us. 
*** It has come to our attention that there's some sort of local music festival this weekend, but we still want to see all these cool artists and anyway the beer's much better here. 
**** It's pronounced "x triple-x x" if you were wondering. Not the easiest band in the world to google, as I've mentioned before.

In Which Everything is Tom's Fault

5/17/2023

Howdy do friendaroos! We've got a week chock full of good times galore and several new beers and also the triumphant-ish return of cask and anyway let's cut right to the jib and get on with it! 

And kickin' things off is that thing I just mentioned and that thing is cask! This Thursday we'll be tappin' a cask of Tom's Fault (which is completely delicious if you haven't tried it yet) and we felt like that ol' beer would be best served by bein' served just straight up no monkey business so that's what we did!
Picture
And speaking of new* beers that are good, we've got another new beer comin' out this week and it's good! More to the point, that beer is Synthetic Dreams, an IPA we brewed to celebrate the new album from Widower (which came out within the past week or so) and it's gonna be available in cans starting on Friday just in time for the Band Hangouts (featuring, among other bands, Widower) and anyway it's completely tasty as heck and you should drink some!
And while we're talkin' about things that are good we should probably announce We're All Doomed! This here's another Milestone Batch - namely batch 666 - and we spent a good long while (somewhere in the vicinity of seven years) tryin' to figure out what to brew to celebrate such an auspicious occasion and we eventually settled on something that's basically the opposite of what we do for all our milestone beers: a golden mild! And while we did brew this beer specifically to pair with the music we'll be hosting at Boston Is Doomed next month, we got all excited to drink and/or release it as soon as possible so it's gonna be in cans probably Friday and you should drink some!
Picture
And then movin' on into the events for the week we're startin' things off today (Wednesday) with a pour painting class in the taproom! If you've never done pour painting before all you need to know is that it's super fun and you should try it! 

And then on Thursday we've got another Bonsai Bar Workshop! You'll get to learn the techniques used in the art of bonsai and you'll get to leave with your very own tiny tree! Anyway this is also gonna be fun as hell, so come check it out! 

And then on Friday we've got more Band Hangouts! We'll be featuring Widower on account of how we made a beer for them (which we will be releasing for said Band Hangs), but we'll also have InAeona, Kid Disaster, and This World Has Bees in the house and we've got Tasty BBQ here servin' up some seriously good eats and you should come hangout with us!

And then on Saturday we don't have any big events (but we *do* have a private party renting the beer garden for the evening, so plan accordingly. This is - you guessed it - Tom's fault) but we've got Lala's Pizza in the house for the evening and any time we get to eat their food is pretty much an event in their own right, so come get some tasty grub! 

And then Sunday we're playin' it low key like we usually do but I figured I'd remind you that our regular Sunday sushi classes are gonna be on hiatus for the summer starting pretty soon.
Picture
And then peekin' forward into next week, we've got some cool stuff comin' up next week too! Next Wednesday (the 24th) we've got a succulent terrarium workshop that's gonna be a buncha fun (there's a lot of dirt-themed events in the back half of May it turns out, but we sure ain't complaining) and then next Thursday (the 25th) is our monthly Comedy Night, which will also be going on hiatus for the summer (our side room gets... warm during the summer, and outdoor comedy isn't always the best idea) so if you haven't been yet you should come on out and see what you've been missing! ​
Picture
And then we won't get too far into the weeds about next weekend except to say that we've got live music on Friday (Jim Healey) and on Saturday (xXXXx and Last Sight and maybe one more) and also there's gonna be another band beer release but we'll get to all that next time!
Picture
* Well, it's "new" as long as you ignore the "pre release" keg that we tapped. Also we weren't talking about new beers, but that's neither here nor there. ​

In Which We Get Ready to Pet ALL the Dogs

5/9/2023

Well hello there! We've got a weekend ham-packed* fulla great beer and fun times and tasty treats and definitely not any disappointing news about cask I don't even know why you'd mention that and anyway let's stop talkin' about talkin' and get to the goods! ​
Picture
And first on up is something I straight-up forgot to mention last week (and possibly also the week before? Who even knows how time works these days) and anyway that's new merch! More to the point, the guys in The Red Chord got all excited that we were re-releasin' Fixation on Red Ale so they had the folks over at IndieMerch do up some sweet collab merch and we've got some of that sweet merch for sale in our very own taproom and it's available right now! They actually managed to dig out the design from our first-ever t shirts that we released back in 2016 (or possibly 2015 when we were still in the "foolish optimism" phase of waiting on buildout to be over) and anyway there's a couple hoodies and a t shirt and they're sweet as heck and we've only got a handful on hand so come grab one if you're lookin' for some rad duds!
And moving right along, we've got some mildly** disappointing news about cask which is that there will be no cask this week on account of how we don't have one ready, which is either a very lame reason or really the only reason there possibly could be, but more to the point we didn't brew caskable stuff for a little while and now it's caught up to us. Anyway, cask will be back next week (it'll be Tom's Fault) and also for several weeks after that because we've got a very special beer we're releasing soon that's pretty much made for cask so we're gonna cask up several casks of that but we'll get to that in due time. Anyway: womp, etc. 

But in brighter news, we've got a new beer on draft! Right now! It's an English*** Pale Ale that we brewed to celebrate the nuptials of our former brewer Human Tom (so named to avoid confusion with our keg washing machine, Handsome Tom) and his partner Gill and it's called Tom's Fault and it's completely tasty as heck and you should drink some! ​
Picture
And movin' on into the "good times" portion of this ol' blog, we've got some good times comin' up! And we're kickin' off this weekend's Good Times Bonanza on Wednesday (i.e. tonight) with Fiddle Times! If you're unfamiliar with how these "Fiddle Times" work around here, it's pretty simple: it's an open jam session full of old-timey music that isn't actually restricted to fiddles (though most people do bring some sort of stringed instrument) and that's pretty much the whole deal but the point is that it's hella fun (or at least it's fun to listen to, and the people playing seem to enjoy themselves a lot) and you should come play and/or listen in! 

And then on Thursday we're back in action with more Simpsons Trivia! The theme this month is "Season Five" which might be an attempt at straightforwardness after the "Homer" themed night, but Chris is truly a man of mystery so we may never know. Anyway, we've got a freshly-stocked prize bin (they just... keep showing up in the mail) and it's gonna be a hoot and you should come join us! 

And then on Friday we've got our first nighttime live music of the season! We've got Officer X and Ravage joining us for the evening (not sure in what order, but they'll both be awesome so you should come for both anyway) and it's free to attend and also we'll have Hungry Nomads in the house slingin' tasty eats and it's gonna be a great time! 
​
And then on Saturday we're celebratin' the Big Holiday of the weekend and that's Dog Mom's Day! We're startin' the day off as one does any proper Dog Mom's Day: with yoga! More specifically it's Punk Yoga with Sarah and it starts at 10:30, so come on out and get stretchy before you hang out and pet all the dogs! 
Picture
And speaking of petting all the dogs, also on Saturday is our Dog Mom's Marketplace! We've got Red Dog Pet Spa and The Pet Snackery and Gal's Best Pal and Goodboy Wear and The Chill Pup CBD Treats all settin' up shop in the taproom and slingin' merch (and/or info, since there's at least one rescue in that list) and we'll be donating $1 per pour to Gal's Best Pal Rescue Mission and also there's gonna be a raffle that you enter by drinking AND if you want to go above and beyond on the whole "dog mom" thing (and you should) there's ALSO a (ticketed) paint your pet workshop happening that afternoon that I can say from personal experience is a great experience and also it's not related to dogs but Breakfast Ninjas will be poppin' up with tasty eats all afternoon and it's gonna be a good day! Come on by, bring your dog, and hang out!
Picture
And then on Sunday we've got our regularly scheduled sushi class with Chef Harold and it's completely delightful but you already knew all that. But! What you maybe didn't know is that the sushi classes go on hiatus for the summer (it gets very hot in that room and you really don't want to be dealing with raw fish in what is effectively a sauna) so if you've been on the fence about signing up for the class, consider this your gentle reminder! 
Picture
And then movin' on a bit to next week, we've got a buncha cool stuff happening next week too! Next Monday we've got a new-to-us event that was suggested by Light of Day Records and that's Beers and Bowie! We're bringing in a Bowie Historian and gettin' into some "deep cuts" on the Thin White Duke and there's gonna be a fair amount of records gettin' spun, so if you're lookin' to get Ziggy with it, come on by! And then next Wednesday we've got a pour painting class in the taproom! If you're unfamiliar, it's a painting technique that involves pouring the paint (duh) instead of brushing it or any of that fancy nonsense and it honestly produces good results way more often than you might expect (as in, most of the time, even if you're particularly bad at painting like Jared is) and you should come try it! And then speaking of fun workshops in the taproom, we've got Bonsai Bar back in the house next Thursday and that really needs no introduction (tiny trees, bring your own tiny lawn furniture) but it's also fun as hell! And then next Friday we've got our monthly Band Hangouts and this one features Widower and Inaeona and Kid Disaster and This World Has Bees and also it's the release party for our collab with Widower (Synthetic Dreams Hazy IPA) which was made to celebrate their new album release (and/or to celebrate this Band Hangout, it can be both) and anyway that's gonna be fun too and you should probably just come out to all this cool stuff we're doin'!​
Picture
* "Ham-packed," the typo that changed the way I use a phrase forever.
** Pun very much intended.  
*** Ah yes, an "English style" beer made by a Belgian-focused American brewery, using American hops. The point is: it's a little maltier than most of our other stuff. Pip pip and/or cheerio, and so on.

In Which the Purple Beer Cometh

5/2/2023

0 Comments

 
Howdy friends! It's roundabout time we get to celebratin' the gen-u-wine o-fficial start of patio season and we've got some cool stuff lined up to do just that, so read on and read up! But first, a snapshot from the magical/unhinged trivia night with our pals in The Red Chord last Saturday:
Picture
First on up is an extremely timely cask and that's Patio Weather! We took this light 'n zippy lil' session beer and crammed in a buncha Pekko for even more zazz and it's gettin' tapped on Thursday and you should drink some!
And speaking of seasonally-appropriate beer releases, we've got another seasonally-appropriate beer release! More to the point, we re-brewed everybody's* favorite summer seasonal and I'm of course talking about Henrietta and that beautiful magenta darling is available on tap and in cans startin' on Saturday (and also we're doin' up a whole shindig to go along with said beer release. Or maybe it was the other way around? Anyway, more on that in a minute) and it's high time you came and drank some Henrietta out in our beer garden, so come and drink some Henrietta out in our beer garden!
Picture
But anyway, before we get too involved in the stuff that's in the near future, we gotta get to the stuff that's in the even nearer future and that future starts TODAY! More poignantly, we're havin' another Rock Band Night and it is tonight (Wednesday) and there's gonna be all kindsa good times involving fake instruments and real vocals and anyway it's pretty much a blast and you should come out!
Picture
And then on Thursday we've got this month's Audio Triviality (our monthly music-themed trivia night) and this month's theme is "Rock 'n Weird" which might sound a little vague but it turns out that Matt knows a lot of weird music facts/stories, so it's sure to be a hella good time! ​
Picture
And movin' on to Saturday we're throwin' our Welcome To Spring/Beer Garden Grand (re)Opening Super Extravaganza or whatever we're callin' it (update: it's called Spring Bazaar, which is a much better name) and we're pullin' out all (or at least some of) the stops! We're releasing Henrietta (I mentioned this) and we're gonna have eats from Tasty BBQ (and no, it's not just a clever name) and there's gonna be a buncha vendors settin' up - namely Atlas Moon Art (mugs, plates, and other ceramics), Bali Marle (Indonesian inspired sauces and spices), Hot Monkey Nuts (should be obvious), and Nubble Light Candles (no idea what these guys are bringing) - and AND we're gonna have an afternoon full of live music featuring our pals from DnA's Evolution and Radio Compass and Thrust Club! Anyway it's gonna be one hell of a time and it's supposed to be nice out so really there's no reason not to come hang out with us!
Picture
And then if you were looking for even more cool reasons to come hang out with us, we've got an action-packed schedule next week too! It starts off next Wednesday with Fiddle Times - an open-invite old-timey jam session in our side room and then we keep the party goin' next Thursday with Simpsons Trivia where we're apparently returning to Season Five but I ain't gonna complain because that's a very good season and it should be a lot of fun and then next Friday we've got our first-of-the-season nighttime live music and it's gonna be completely killer because it's showcasing Officer X and Ravage and then next Saturday we're startin' the morning off with Yoga with Sarah and then we're havin' our Dog Mom's Marketplace featuring a buncha cool dog-related vendors (including The Pet Snackery, Chill Pup CBD Treats, Goodboy Wear, and Red Dog Pet Spa) and also there's a (ticketed) Paint Your Pet Workshop goin' on as well and anyway the point is that it's pretty much all fun times all the times around here and it would be swell if you'd join us!
Picture
Oh! And! Speaking of swell things from cool people, we've got April's coloring contest winners! Adequate work, everyone!
* Well, everybody except for Macon, who is apparently a hibiscus hater.

In Which Some Walls Come Down

4/26/2023

Howdy friends! Who's in for a rootin' tootin' sure shootin' big ol' blog fulla good times galore? I sure do hope it's you, because that's exactly what you're in for!
Picture
But first! We'd like to thank everybody who came out for our first-ever Record Store Day (and especially the Swifties who started waiting in line at 8AM, y'all don't mess around!) - we're pretty new to the record store community and it was downright heartwarming to see so many of y'all come out! 

And speaking of record-store-related events, the band Yo La Tengo is apparently really into supporting small/local record shops, so as a result of us having a small record shop in our taproom, we've got tickets (real, physical, paper tickets) on sale for their upcoming local shows! The shows themselves are June 18th and 19th at The Paradise and tickets are $30 each, so come grab one!
Picture
Anyway, movin' on into the here and/or now, we're kickin' things off strong with yet another Expansion Update and whoo-ee is it a doozy! There's really no beating around the bush on this one, especially since several of you have probably definitely already noticed: we've got fewer walls now (this is a good thing)! And sure, it would have been nice to know in advance that the walls were coming down (we found out when our landlord's contractor stuck his head through a newly-created hole in the wall and asked if we could move the stuff on our side of the wall, because said wall was about to come down), but progress is progress and we're accustomed to taking what we can get on that front.
Picture
Anyway, the development of real, actual, tangible progress always raises the question of "is it close to done yet" (and/or the related question of "do you know when it will be done") and the answer is no! Of course not! Why would it be? But seriously, there's still a bunch of stuff to be done in terms of buildout, and most of it needs to be done by people who are, like, "witness protection program" levels of difficult to reach (including the building's plumber, who recently completed his quarterly half-day of work on our space, which means the fixtures will remain half-installed until mid summer). Anyway, there's also the fact that we can't even start the lengthy permitting processes (federal, state, and town are all separate processes that can't happen simultaneously for some reason) until all the aforementioned work is done (and inspected, which can take months in and of itself), but the point is that things are moving again!* ​
Picture
And moving on from that exciting-yet-frustrating news to news that was about to be just regular frustrating until we managed to save things in the nick of time (the beer engine was broken and none of us - least of all Jared - thought Jared would be able to fix it, but he did!) and anyway the point is that we'll be tappin' a cask on Thursday just like always and this week the cask is gonna be Fixation On Red Ale (which we're rereleasing on Saturday, but we haven't gotten there yet) and anyway we're servin' this sucker up straight-up and it's gonna be tasty as heck and you should drink some!
Picture
And moving from (almost) bummer news to (wishing for) summer news, we've got another new beer out! This one is called Patio Weather and it's a light 'n hoppy lil' session that's perfect for sippin' while you're relaxing outside and enjoying the "warm" (50 degree) weather and pretending like you can totally start wearing shorts already and anyway it's on draft right now and you should drink some! 

And speaking of beer, we've got another dang beer release! This one's a beer we brewed as a one-off** about a year ago and we've gotten a whole buncha questions about it and/or requests to bring it back and anyway starting on Saturday we'll have Fixation on Red Ale back on draft and in cans! In cased you missed this one the first time around, it's a red ale (duh) that we brewed as a collab with our friends in The Red Chord, and it was originally brewed for the Decibel Beer and Metal Fest last year but we ain't immune to "popular demand"*** and now it's back! And the release just so happens to coincide with the Band Hangouts that we're doin' with The Red Chord, but we'll get to that in a minute. 
Picture
And moving on to non-beer-but-still-fun news, we've got patches! We thought it would be cool to have some patches available, so we got some, and now we have them! They're perfect for adding to your Cool Guy Heavy Metal Vest or for putting over rips and tears in your non-heavy-metal clothing or for adding flair to any of the fabrics in your life (hoodies, hats, bedsheets, car headrests, the list is endless!) so come grab some!
Picture
And in even more merch-related news, we've got new Shut Up Kelly shirts! We felt like the old design needed a bit of a "refresh" so we did some small printing runs of a couple new designs and honestly they're both rad as hell, so check 'em out!
Movin' on to Fun Times, we've got lots of fun times lined up for you this week and we're kickin' off the weekend on Thursday with our Monthly Comedy Showcase which will definitely not be impacted by the fact that most of the walls in that room are now actually just curtains. Anyway it's been a damn hoot every time we've held this event, so come on out and getcha some comedy! 

And then on Friday we don't have any big events going on, but we do have Sekali in the house and that qualifies as an event in its own right (on account of their food is very very good and also they're super nice), so come snack with us! 

Then on Saturday we've got Adriano's Tacos joining us for the afternoon and we've got Band Hangouts in the evening! (There will be some overlap between the two.) For the Band Hangs this month - which feature The Red Chord, Brain Famine, Bonginator, and Blood Tithe - we've decided to "mix things up" in a variety of ways, and one of those ways is that two of the guys from The Red Chord (specifically Greg and Gunface) wanted to host their own trivia night and despite being told by several people that doing so would be "a mistake," we decided to go for it! Anyway we're gonna have all the normal Band Hangout stuff (bands, hanging out, you know the drill) and also Obnoxious Trivia or whatever they're calling it AND we're rereleasing Fixation On Red Ale AND there's gonna be tacos, so you should swing by on Saturday!
Picture
And then looking forward to next week, we've got more fun times lined up for next week! Following up on the successful fun times we had at the last Rock Band Night, we're havin' another Rock Band Night next Wednesday (5/3) so brush up on your fake guitar skills and come join us! Then next Thursday (5/4) is the next installment of Audio Triviality (our music-themed trivia night) and the theme is "Rock 'n Weird" which is a kinda vague theme, but Matt's good at weird so it's guaranteed to be a fun time and you should come out! And then next Saturday (5/6) we've got our Spring Bazaar featuring some cool local vendors (Nubble Light Candles, Atlas Moon Art, and Bali Marle) plus our FIRST dang ol' outdoor live music of the season (featuring DnA’s Evolution, Thrust Club, and Radio Compass) AND the rerelease of our much-anticipated summer seasonal and anyway it's gonna be a good time and you should come hang with us! ​
Picture
* And we're only two months past the (most recent) time when they told us it would be done in "two weeks!" That's record time for these guys. 
** Aren't they all (yes)
*** Though looking at the beers we've been making for the past seven years, you could easily assume that we are in fact immune to popular demand

In Which We Kick the Casket

4/19/2023

0 Comments

 
Hello there! What's that you say? It's been a dang ol' while since we've released a new beer? And we should maybe release several new beers over the course of this week (and next week, for that matter)? Well dang, you're right! It has been a dang ol' while and et cetera, so we're gonna do all that stuff I said! ​
And first up is technically not a "new" beer but it's the first one on the list and that's cask! And this time around we have a Very Special Cask and we're callin' it Kick the Casket! And to the layman this cask might appear to be Extra Naked all "goosed up" with a fistful of MI Copper (because it is), but to the eye with brains, it's a cask that was made to celebrate the nuptials of Friends of the Brewery (one of whom is an Employee of the Brewery, but that's neither here nor there) Landon and Betty and we'll be tappin' this cask in their honor on Thursday and pourin' it all weekend (they're having a wedding-related party here on Saturday) and anyway we're sure going to raise a glass to the happy couple, so get yourself some and toast a toast!
Picture
And while we're talkin' about cask, we might as well mention that we've got a cask goin' to NERAX! Which is this weekend! And the good folks at NERAX took the concept of "Gentleman's Friday"* and extended it by an extra day which means that it starts today (Wednesday) and runs through the weekend (we'll be there for the industry session on Friday and we might be there embarrassing ourselves thoroughly at the evening session that very same day) and if you're not "in the know" on what NERAX is it's pretty much the best fest around because it's less "drinking two ounce pours out of a plastic cup in a field and/or parking lot" and more "drinking imperial pints of cask beer (which was specifically imported for the event) in a place whose vibe is somewhere between 'VFW' and 'church basement.'" Anyway the point is we're gonna have a cask of Shut Up Kelly there (a cask we fortified with some cherry-liqueur-soaked oak chips, no less) and it's gonna be tasty (most of the casks will be tasty) and you should go drink some! ​
Picture
Anyway enough talkin' about other super fun places to get beer, let's talk about beer you can get at our super fun taproom! Anyway the first new beer we've got in-house, which is available on draft right now, is Supergroup! It's an IPA and we made it because, well, we wanted an IPA (there's not always a big story behind everything) and so we took a handful hops that had been recent favorites (MI Rakau, BRU-1, Zappa, those sorts of hops) and threw 'em all into this beer and it's tasty as heck and you should drink some! 
Picture
And speaking of new beers, only this time ones with stories attached to them, we've got another new beer comin' out! And this one's got a story attached to it! See, Chris (the owner of Light of Day Records, the record shop that's in our taproom) wanted to do a big to do about Record Store Day (more on that in a minute), and the main way we do a big to do about things around here is to brew a beer about them, so we brewed a beer about Light of Day and we're releasing it for Record Store Day! It's a nice 'n bright hoppy saison that's laser focused on the new-to-us hop Pekko which is nice 'n fruity and maybe a little herbal (which is - somewhat accidentally - completely on-style for a saison) and anyway it's tasty as heck and it's gonna be available in cans Saturday. Anyway, it's tasty and you should come have some with us! ​
Picture
And speaking of new things around the taproom, though not about beer this time, we've got a buncha cool new swag! We've got some new stickers kickin' around and we stocked up on cool buttons (only $1 each)!
Picture
Anyway we've also got a ton of cool events lined up for you (many of which have a food pairing!) so here we go! 

On Wednesday we're hosting a Sip & Script Calligraphy Class, so if you wanna learn to write letters all fancy-like while sipping some suds, come on by! Classes include all the supplies you'll need, so just bring a headful ideas and a willingness to learn and/or drink! 

Then on Thursday Matt's hosting stoner trivia! He's gonna be gettin' into the groove with the nitty-gritty on many peoples' favorite plant (including lots of cultural references, I'm sure) and the lucky winners will win some special prizes** and it's gonna be a ton of fun and also it wouldn't be a stoner-themed event without snacks so we've got Seabiscuit up in the house serving up some of their delicious-ass hand pies and it's gonna be a ton of fun! 

And moving on to Friday we've got a pre-Record-Store-Day event and that's Beer & Vinyl Pairing! You'll get a flight of beer and Chris (remember Chris? Our vinyl guy? From a few paragraphs ago, and also just in general?) will play some "deep cuts" off of records that pair well with the beers and there's sure to be some super interesting anecdotes thrown into the mix (at least, there always have been when we've gone) and it's completely a good time! And to "sweeten the deal" we'll also have El Barbon Tacos in the taproom all evening (regardless of whether you bought a ticket to the event) and their food is mighty tasty, so come on out! ​
Picture
And then on Saturday we're doin' up a big ol' shindig for Record Store Day! We're not gonna be opening at the damn crack of dawn so vinylheads (or whatever they're called) can paw through our stuff, but we ARE gonna be setting up the biggest damn vinyl dollar bin you've ever seen and there's gonna be an all-vinyl DJ layin' down some "sets" or whatever and we're gonna have Seabiscuit BACK in the house because their food is hella good and also we're gonna have a whole shitload of Exclusive Record Store Day Vinyl but you probably already figured that part out (it's... it's a pretty important component of this whole thing) and anyway we're gonna be hangin' all day and you should join us!
Picture
And then next week we've got a packed and stacked lineup fulla fun stuff! Next Wednesday we've got a Bonsai Bar Workshop in the taproom that everybody really seems to dig (we haven't been able to do this one yet)(no pun intended) and then next Thursday we've got our Monthly Comedy Showcase (get tickets!) which is genuinely hilarious*** every month and this month is sure to bring just as many chuckles and/or guffaws and/or cowabungas and then next Saturday we're doin' our monthly Band Hangouts (yeah, I know, it's weird that it's on a Saturday instead of a Friday) and we're featuring The Red Chord and Brain Famine and Bonginator (all of whom completely rip) and also two of the guys in The Red Chord wanted to do "Obnoxious Trivia" so we're giving them the mic for a little while (yeah, I know it's weird to do trivia on a Saturday and not a Thursday) and we've been explicitly told by friends of the band that it's a "bad idea" to give those two a mic, so that will definitely get interesting and also we're rereleasing Fixation On Red Ale, the beer we brewed for The Red Chord for last year's Decibel Beer & Metal Fest (we've gotten several requests to bring it back, generally from their vocalist) and anyway all of that is gonna be hella fun!
Picture
Oh! And! Since I mentioned Decibel Fest, I wanted to give a shoutout to all the friends (new and old) that we saw at Decibel Fest this past weekend! It was completely a blast and the crew at Decibel are really just excellent about making us feel right at home and we got to hang with a ton of cool people and anyway if you haven't been to that fest you should totally go and if you have been to the fest, next time let's shotgun some beers in the pit and see what happens.
* Thursday. And, of course, the term "gentleman" is intended as gender-neutral. 
** No, we're not giving you weed. We're not allowed to. Weed paraphernalia on the other hand...
*** Honestly, "low-hype comedy show in the side room at a brewery" is something I would probably pass over if I saw it happening elsewhere, but Erin finds some really funny comedians for this so I'm happy to be proven wrong.

In Which the Simpsons Trivia Prize Box is Restocked

4/11/2023

Howdy do, kids and squids! It's time again to do a buncha cool stuff and drink some tasty beer and probably eat some snacks and anyway let's get to it! ​
Picture
First on up we've got our trusty Thursday cask and this one is yet another oddball that we're hella stoked to be tappin' up! You may recall a couple months ago when we tapped a "brett stock" cask (and if you don't recall, we made a base beer designed to end up in one of our wild fermentation barrels, only we squirreled some away in a cask before we funkified it) and anyway we're doin' that again! We used a different base recipe this time around (this one is lighter in color and body) and we dry hopped it with fruity ol' Paradigm which is a Michigan-grown hop (from our friends at Hang 'Em High Hops) that we've been itchin' to get to know better (it was the main/only hop in Where's Chris, if you remember that blast from the relatively-recent past) and anyway it's gonna be tasty as hell and you should drink some!
Picture
And speaking of tasty new beers, we figured we'd drop a little "teaser" that we're gonna have a tasty-ass new IPA on tap next week but you're gonna have to keep them eyes peeled if you want more sweet deets on that ol' beer! 

And then moving on to Fun Times for the week, here are the fun times for the week! On Wednesday (also known as tomorrow) we're hosting our monthly Fiddle Jam Session! It's an open-invite hoedown where anyone with an instrument can come join in and play some old-timey tunes, so come on by and kick out some jams! 

Then on Thursday we've got another monthly event comin' back around and this one's Simpsons Trivia! The theme for the month is "Homer" which is definitely not in any way a broad brush but that ain't matter because it's gonna be fun as hell (and also we just restocked the prize box, which means we've got more socks* if that's your thing) and you should come out! 

And then gettin' into the Weekend Proper we've got Birria Gordita Tacos in the house on Friday slingin' their tasty tacos (and also birria ramen. Holy hell that ramen is so good) and then for the "early birds" we've got New Wave Yoga with Crystal on Saturday morning and then of course we have our regularly-scheduled Sunday sushi class and it's gonna be a fun weekend! ​

And then NEXT week we've ALSO got hell of fun times happening, so here's the "skinny" on all our (near) Future Fun! Things start off next Tuesday (the 18th) with a SOLD OUT performance by Members of Landmarks Orchestra right here in our very own taproom! And then next Wednesday (the 19th) we've got another Sip & Script Calligraphy Class in the house! And then next Thursday (the 20th) (which is also "the weed day") we're hosting Stoner Trivia! Matt's gonna be dishin' up a buncha 420-friendly questions and we've got some themed prizes that are for Novelty Purposes Only and definitely in no way encourage drug use** and also we'll have Seabiscuit in the house servin' up some tasty hand pies and that all actually dovetails nicely into next Friday when Chris from Light of Day is doing a Beer & Vinyl Pairing event (also ticketed) and also El Barbon Tacos will be in the house! And then next Saturday (the 22nd) we've got an event that's big enough to merit it's own paragraph and that's...
Picture
Record Store Day! Now, we know there's a lot of Intense Record People who like to wake up at a time of day that's early enough we still consider it to be "late" so they can wait in line at like six in the morning or something, but we really aren't "morning birds" or whatever the phrase is (and also we're not legally allowed to open early) so we're sticking to our suds and opening at a reasonable damn hour (noon) but that ain't gonna stop us from havin' some fun! Light of Day is gonna be bustin' out the biggest damn dollar bin this side of the Alps and they're settin' up some damn good deals on their non-Record-Store-Day-exclusive records and also they're gonna have a whole shitload of those Record Store Day Exclusive records that everybody's gonna be waking up in the middle of the night to line up for and also we're gonna have Seabiscuit here AGAIN and there's gonna be an all-vinyl DJ all afternoon and also we're releasing a whole beer for this event and my point is that it's gonna be a damn good time and you should come by!
Picture
* We were asked, rather enthusiastically, to return socks to the Simpsons Prize Bin and who are we to argue? The people (or, rather, one person) have spoken and the people want socks!
** I was gonna make some kind of "for tobacco use only" joke, but I feel like tobacco is worse than the thing we're pretending not to endorse?

In Which There Are Spring Tacos, Spring Casks, Spring Markets, and Even Spring in Our Step

4/4/2023

​Hi kids! It's that time again (blog time) and we're here to blog up the blogginest blog we can and also probably talk about snacks or something, so let's get on with it! 

And first on up we've got cask! And this particular cask is particularly special on account of how - for the second week in a row! - the cask is a special sneak peek at a beer that hasn't been released yet! More to the point, this Thursday we're tappin' a cask of our collab beer with Light of Day Records (which we creatively named Light of Day) and we're gonna be releasing that beer on Record Store Day because we're doin' a big thing for Record Store Day but anyway we've got a cask of it and we dry hopped the heck outta that cask with some Sticky Fingers (which you might recognize from the also-creatively-named Sticky Fingers that's currently on tap) and anyway we have it on good authority (ourselves) that this cask is gonna be hella tasty so come on out and cask it up with us! ​
Picture
Spring, in beer form
But wait! Before I get on with all the additional cool things we're doin' on Thursday (there are several), it behooves us to mention that there's a pour painting class goin' on in our side room tonight (Wednesday) so if you're lookin' to do some last-minute art, go on and grab a ticket!

And then moving back to Thursday, we've got more cool stuff happening on Thursday! We're hosting our monthly music-themed trivia and this month's theme is Iron Maiden (which is entirely unrelated to the appearance of the Iron Maiden pinball machine, unless our trivia plans function as some sort of vision board? Uncertain) and also we've got Birria Gordita Tacos poppin' up in the taproom for the evening so come on by because it's gonna be fun and/or tasty times! ​
Picture
Trivia time. Taco time. Iron Maiden time.
And speaking of tasty times, we've got our friends from Lobzter King back in the taproom all evening on Friday servin' up some of their extra-special-delicious lobster-focused foods (seriously, they're so good) and anyway that's also gonna be tasty times and you should come hang out!
Picture
Two words: Lobzter. Sliderz.
And then on Saturday we've got our Hiker's Delight Marketplace! This here's an outdoor-adventure-themed marketplace and we're gonna have the Boston chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club, plus our neighbors Revolution Axe and MetroRock and they'll all be offering information about their programs and/or facilities and also we'll have Triple Crown Coffee here slingin' their trail-inspired brews and also Adriano's Tacos is gonna be poppin' up and selling tacos and anyway it's gonna be a good time!
Picture
And if it's nice out (it's supposed to be nice out) you can hike on out to the beer garden for some Outdoors Time
And lastly, looking even farther into the future, we've got some fun stuff for future times (i.e. next week)! First up is an event that we're hosting in preparation for the "big holiday" in April and instead of getting all "wink nudge tee hee" about the fact that it's the "weed day" we figured we'd just friggin' own it and anyway next Tuesday we're hosting bong painting! And then next Wednesday is our monthly Fiddle Jam Session where we wholeheartedly encourage you to bring your fiddle to the taproom and come jam out (we're surprisingly amenable to fiddles most other times, but you'll get a lot fewer weird looks if you bring it next Wednesday) and then next Thursday we've got our monthly Simpsons Trivia and the theme for the month is "Homer" which is definitely not any sort of cry for help from Chris but anyway even more to the point is the fact that we've freshly stocked our supply of weird Simpsons-themed prizes which means fresh pickin's on the strangest knockoff merch that we could find and anyway all of these events are gonna be fun as hell so you should probably just be here every day?

Just to be safe. Every day
