Hooo-Wee, Do We Have Some Fun Things Planned!

Well hey there, cats and kittens! Bone Up has remained a whirlwind of frenzied motion over the past week or so, what with all the slingin' suds and servin' snacks and brewin' beers and good times all around! It's been such a flurry of activity (though much of the thrilled-to-be-open-related prancing has slowed a bit) that we forgot to tell you about all the cool events we got comin' up! But that's a problem we can fix, so we gon' do that right here right now. 

First and foremost, we have a tasting/growler popup at Social Wines this Thursday, September 8! We're back at our homefield beer store, and this time we mean business (and by "business" I mean "tasty beers," which is really just business as usual). So if you're in the area (or if you're not in the area but you really need to getcha some Bone Up on a Thursday night), come on by and say hi and try some of our flagships and some taproom-only* beers! 

Next up is next Saturday (the 17th), when we're thrilled to say we'll be at Village Fest! For those of you not in the know, Village Fest is a bigass street festival with food trucks and bands** and city-sanctioned outdoor drinkin'! And we have it on good authority that there's also gonna be a bounce house! The street is gonna be shut down from Teddie Peanut Butter all the way down to our humble abode, and we'll be joining our neighbors (Short Path, Night Shift, and Down the Road) pouring some beers outside! The festival runs from 3 until 9, and it's worth noting that we won't (can't) be open outside those hours that day. So if you were planning on comin' out and having a quiet pint and/or growler fill, you'd be advised to schedule around that.

All these lovely beverage producers will be pouring festival-style all down the street to suit your free-range drinkin' needs! We're not sure what Teddie's going to be up to, but we sure hope it involves five gallon buckets of peanut butter.

​And hot on the heels of that fun-filled afternoon, we've got some more good times planned! As you may have noticed, we're pretty big fans of snacks around these parts - truth be told, they're one of our biggest non-beer priorities. So with that in mind, we're stoked as heck to say that we're partnering with Craft Brew England to do a beer and empanada tasting on Thursday, September 22! We'll be serving up empanadas filled with meats marinated in Bone Up Brews, and proceeds go to the Everett Farmers Market! So if you wanna come out and snack on snacks and drink some drinks, all in support of a good cause, grab yourself a ticket while the gettin' is good!

​And THEN, a little further down the road (October 27th, to be precise), we'll be hosting an Original Gravity concert! We'd been in talks with these fine folks for quite a while now, so it's pretty durn exciting that we finally get to work with them! A little background: Original Gravity is a concert series that pairs beers brewed by local breweries (and at least one cider house in the past) with music composed by local composers, which means we'll have a night of high-class tunes and some fresh new beers to pair them with! And since our space is... cozy at the best of times, there are a limited number of tickets*** available, so you might wanna scoop 'em up sooner rather than later if you're lookin' to get your flute on next month.

We've got it on good authority there's going to be a... gong solo?

That's all for events (for now), but we'd once again like to offer a sincere Thank You to everybody who came out to our taproom over the weekend. We met some cool-as-hell people, and a bunch of y'all said you've been reading this ridiculous blog of ours for a while now and that is just completely, unbelievably incredible. This has been a labor of love, for sure (heavy on the labor), and we can't even express how cool it is to meet people who have been rooting for us as we've been getting started. And if you haven't already, come on by the taproom and say hi, we'd love to meet you!

* Well, they're mostly only available in the taproom, but "taproom-mostly" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
** The headliner is Eve 6, who, in the interest of full disclosure, we really only know from that one song that's definitely gonna get stuck in your head as soon as you go look it up.
*** And for what it's worth, all of the performers are soloists. It's not like we'll be cramming an orchestra into our tiny taproom (though that would be funny).
