Howdy ho! We're three weeks in, with a whole bunch more to go; there's been a lot goin' on, and we got more to report, don't'cha know!
For starters, we got paid a visit by none other than the friggin' mayor! There was a podium and heartfelt speeches about how great Everett is and a ribbon cutting* and a TV crew to fully capture us in all of our awkward splendor. And we got an Official Citation! We were pretty stoked about this once we realized that the citation didn't involve the word "traffic" or any fines (instead it was printed and framed up quite nicely).

And part** of the reason that our Official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was this week is that Village Fest is comin' up! Just to refresh your memory - Village Fest is when the city shuts down our street (Norman St. and/or Santilli Hwy, depending on which part you're on) and there are food trucks and outdoor drinking and bands and free hot dogs*** and a bounce house!
It's sure to be a bustlin' good time for all, though there are a couple things worth mentioning. Firstly, we can't open until the fest starts at 3:00 PM - so if you need to get your Bone Up in the early afternoon instead of waiting until the mid afternoon, you'd be advised to plan ahead and grab a growler on Friday. We'll be open from noon to eleven PM, as always, and this week we're rockin' with the Roving Lunchbox hand pie truck from 5-9pm!
And speaking of growlers, we won't be selling any to-go beer while the festival is goin' on (for liability reasons. We'll also be serving in plastic cups for similar reasons, which means flights won't really be an option).

And speaking of beers, we've got a new release comin' up this Friday, as well as a couple new-ish releases that we just plumb forgot to mention on this ol' blog, so here's the stats and info on those bad mamma jammas:
Teamaker, Single Hop Pale Ale, 5.2%
Teamaker is a cool little hop that we wanted to get better acquainted with, so we threw a shitload of it (maybe even two shitloads) into a nice, medium-bodied pale ale! We're still getting to know the beer, but these woody, floral aromas are keepin' us bendin' our elbows every time we pour a pint for "research purposes." Debuting this Friday in the taproom!

OHM, Throwback IPA, 5.5%
Sometimes you just gotta have an old-school citrus-and-pine IPA, so we took some Classic American Hops, chucked them in the kettle, and mixed in just a *pinch* of Bone Up Magic. We ain't gonna strip the enamel off your teeth, but we are gonna give you a solid beer for solid times. Enjoy it now in the taproom while it lasts, or go grab a pour from our friends at Mystic Station or Rosebud Kitchen!

Redeemer, Dark Mild, 3.1%
Woke up Sunday morning, not a way to hold your head that doesn't hurt? Drink this beer for breakfast, and maybe have another one for dessert... Barely over three percent but still packin' loads of flavor, Redeemer's a little nutty and just the right amount of roasty. This guy is super smooth-sippin' and lets you keep the party goin' while you redeem yourself from the sins of the previous night (just make sure to wear your cleanest dirty shirt).

And. And! We're expanding our taproom hours! Again! Y'all seem to dig on kickin' back with a pint or three on Sunday evenings, and we'll be damned if we ain't gon' letcha! Our taproom is now open and servin' up suds until eight o'clock on Sundays, and - as always - we'll have fresh-baked pretzels (and usually a handful of other goodies) from Fat Boyfriend Bakery! So if you're lookin' to have a relaxing evening as you perpetually push away any thoughts of your impending work week, come on out and grab a beer!
* Though, sadly, they did not bring along comically large ceremonial scissors. They just used the regular type (though considering how sharp they weren't, some jokester may have snuck in a pair of kids' safety scissors, which would be pretty funny).
** The other part being that we just opened a couple weeks ago.
*** Yes, really. In our parking lot, in fact! If you're lucky, they might even be cooked.
