Gather 'round, cats and kittens! The lack of any real news to report means that Head Brewer Jared has a (mercifully short) yuletide yarn for y'all. You see, we're suckers for Christmas, and we like to do our celebrations the right way 'round these here parts. And with that in mind, we've got a special holiday tradition that dates back to a time before Bone Up was even a figment of our imaginations:
Following in the footsteps of many other great breweries, we like to whip up a big ol' batch of somethin' special for the holidays. And since these cold New England winters are made for hunkerin' down to sip and savor something strong and soulful, we just so happen to be partial to Imperial Stouts for our Christmas beers. No two are alike, and that's intentional, since no two Christmases are alike. We like to say we brew a unique beer to suit each unique year, but the reality may lie closer to us brewing whatever the hell we feel like (which does, in a way, reflect the circumstances of the current year I guess).
We've talked a little about this year's Christmas beer before, but never bothered to mention what it was - and this year it's an ass-kickin' slap-you-in-the-face imperial stout, no frills about it. It ain't nothin' fancy, but it's big and it's bold and it certainly has some strong opinions:

We decided to play it simple this year because, frankly, all of our energy went into planning this here brewery. But never you fret: we've got months of pondering time, so that by this time next year we'll have a whole bunch of a whole new hoity-toity high-falutin' beer for you to enjoy with us. We'll tell the beer to keep its opinions to itself this time.
