Friendship Beers? That's a Paddlin'.

5/30/2018

0 Comments

 
​Hello again! We're back! And we're just straight-up chuffed to tell you all about all the cool stuff we got goin' on around here!

First and/or foremost, we're gonna take a step "behind the scenes" to discuss a moderately ridiculous tradition that we're continuing on the production floor around here. But first, a bit of background: when Jared landed his first Big Boy Brewery gig back in the day, his friend Dave somehow came up with the rad-yet-wildly-impractical notion that every brewer would be bringing their own mash paddles to work every day (the brewery in question had a 100+ BBL brewhouse, hence the impracticality). But now that we've got a real-ass brewery of our own, that's pretty much exactly what we do! We've got our own personalized paddles and each one has a more-or-less specific job - Jimbo's paddle gets used for mashing in, Jared's for graining out. 
Anyway, I told you that story so I could tell you this one: our cellarman Ben, who we've mentioned a time or two in the past (though it's mostly been to do things like blame the bad weather on him), has been here for about a year by now so we figured he needed his own dang ol' paddle on the wall! It's all bright and shiny and new right now (and clearly handmade by a non-expert in the woodworking arts), but it's ready for some dang ol' action don't'cha know!
Picture
I mean who wouldn't want that paddle/weapon of destruction
Speakin' of production staff, have we mentioned that we're hiring? We have? Oh. Well we're gonna mention it again - we're now accepting applications for production staff, so if you wanna help make the best damn beer in town you should probably apply! (details here)
Picture
You want job? We have job.
And while we're talkin' about beermaking (aren't we always?), we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the fun collab beer that we brewed this week! Our friend Liz from our main hop supplier - Four Star Farms* out of Northfield MA - came on over and brought a big ol' bag of their new(ish) hop blend CrysCade and then we made a beer with it! And in the spirit of things, we tossed in a buncha grains from a couple other local ingredient suppliers that we're friendly with, namely Valley Malt and Blue Ox Malt. Beer friends are some pretty great friends to have, I tells ya what!
Picture
LIZ POWER
Anyway. Back to the task at hand: we have a cask this week! Just like we always do! And this time it's Extra Naked, which is our favorite beer in general, made all the more favoriter on cask! Tasty times!
Picture
A thing of beauty.
Speaking of casks, in a few short weeks we'll be bringin' it strong at a cask fest all the way down in Cape Cod and y'all should probably come check it out because cask fests are the best fests.
Picture
But gettin' back to the beer itself for a second, this week we're gonna reintroduce y'all to an old favorite of ours - a beer that was originally brewed to commemorate the anniversary of our first (admittedly somewhat disastrous) brewday - Joybringer! We've got a nearness and dearness in our hearts for Belgian Tripel, and this sneaky lil'** beer - which will be on tap starting Friday - is one of our favorite ways to celebrate a special occasion! Whee!
Picture
Just a straight up glassful o' delight up in here.
And while we're talkin' about the weekend, on Saturday we've got our friends from Gulu-Gulu Cafe and Smokin' Betty's drivin' a big ol' meat train right into our taproom! We've got it on good authority that they'll be catering our Year Two birthday bash at the end of August, so come on out for a sneak preview!
Picture
Meat friends!
And since Sunday is for sweets, we've got donuts!
Picture
Always good.
And if you're lookin' for something to do with your hands in between bites of donut and swigs of beer, we've got Alice's Table up in the house for Peonies on the Patio! I dunno if there are tickets left, but I bet Liz does!
Picture
We are now called "Wholesome Activity Brewing Company"
Looking a bit farther forward, it's only two short weeks until we introduce our long-awaited*** Simpsons Trivia Night! So if you're a Know-It-All Neddy and you wanna strut your stuff (or if you just wanna get a gander at the ridiculous prizes we'll be dolin' out), come on by on Thursday the 14th at 8 (7 central)!
Look, Super Nintendo Chalmers, I'm learnding!
* Did you know that about half of our hops are grown in-state? They are (and they're fantastic). 
** Well, it's 8.6%, so I dunno if it's really all that "lil"
