Hello again! Hello! How are you? We hope you're doing well. We also hope you're looking to read about all the cool stuff we've got for you, because that... that's pretty much all this blog is ever about.
Anyway. We've got fun things! The first fun thing is new long sleeve shirts! We liked them so much last year that we decided to bring them back, only we didn't want you to think we'd run out of ideas so now it's a different base shirt and new fun art and really it's an entirely different thing except for the sleeve length so come check them out! They're rad!
AND they come with a free spiffy shaker pint if you come on out to the taproom to grab it!
And while we're on about rad things that are similar to (yet still markedly different from) things we've done before, this Thursday brings us another cask! This time around it's food-pairing-favorite Nick! And just to "amp things up" we "decided" that we would "dry hop" this beer with a whole buncha Nugget! Nugget times!
And if you're tired of the turkey leftovers taking up the top shelf in your fridge, we! have! a! new! hot dog! It's made of pork and it smells awesome and comes slathered in delicious grainy mustard! Pork times!
And speaking of casks, we're gonna be at some cask thing next week! In short, our friend Randy - who was instrumental in getting us on the Cask Train in the first place - got sad that there wasn't gonna be any NERAX North this year (which, to be honest, was a giant bummer to us when we heard about it) so he's takin' control of the situation and/or his destiny and throwin' his own cask party next Friday, 12/7 in Watertown! It is, as you might imagine, likely to be a durn good time, so you should come check it out!
We're pouring Shut Up Kelly! Porter! And let's be honest, you've always wondering what the inside of that weird American Legion looked like. Here's your chance!
PLUS, if you're gonna be out and about next weekend anyway, you should come check out this other thing that we're doin' with some different friends* - namely, the Original Gravity show next Saturday 12/8! In short, the good folks over at OG pair local breweries with music from composers (also local? Except for that one time?) and then fun times happen! And what's more, we brewed up a special beer just for this event** called Marimba! So if you're a fan of beer or good times or maybe getting to watch a robot play a guitar (we haven't checked the setlist, but it's happened before), come on out!
Fingers crossed for an encore from the electric cactus!
But anyway. Back to now(ish). This Friday we've got some tasty times in the form of Deep Cuts Deli in our taproom all evening! And since it's statistically unlikely that you don't like sandwiches, you ain't got no excuse so we'll see you there!
Sandwiches!
Then on Saturday we've got some non-sandwich food (unless you're the kind of person who likes to take a really broad view of what constitutes a "sandwich" for the sake of starting arguments, but that's really neither here nor there) with pastelitos from Matilda's!
It's like if a sandwich was deep fried and also not a sandwich, but they're so good!
And! Lastly! We been so busy all up in that we've stone-cold/mostly forgotten to constantly remind you about our second-favorite day of the year: Horatio Day! Horatio is our dapper skull-and-mustache logo dude, and his birthday is in early January so we're doin' it up right and throwin' him a party! There's too much Excitement to contain in just one paragraph, so I'm gonna boil it up and throw it down in some bullet points for y'all:
Hey, if you're gonna throw a birthday party for a cartoon skeleton, you might as well go all out.
-Rare beer, barrel-aged beer, probably a new beer, all the beer! - we've got some cool stuff kickin' around in the ol' Barrel Keep, and we've been saving it for a special occasion, and really the Most Special occasion is one that you make up for the sake of having an occasion, so we're gonna tap all this awesome beer! Every so often throughout the day (schedule TBD) we're gonna throw on a log of limited-time, get-it-while-it's-here good tastes!
-Horatio Lookalike Contest - this seems pretty self-explanatory
-The Bacon Truck from Noon 'til Six! - also self-explanatory? Except they won't be in a truck, they'll be in our taproom, which means you can stay warm whilst filling thyself with bacon.
-Mac and Cheese Showdown! - starting at six PM, we're gonna have some food friends - notably the long-time rivals Brato and Bonetown - in to show off their Mac and Cheese Chops and you get to help determine the winner! And you do so by eating! It sounds like a hard day's work, but we believe in you.
-Cool swag! - we did it up proper with fancy gold-rimmed glasses last year, and it would be silly to let that tradition fall by the wayside.
-Probably cake! - honestly, cake just kind of shows up around here a lot of the time. Seems pretty likely there'll be cake at this thing.

And that's everything that we've got going on! Can I have wine now?
