Howdee Hoo, We've Got a Double Release For You!

​Oh hi there! I didn't see you come in. Well, no matter. I shall regale you with tales of events transpired and festivities forthcoming all up in this bidness. Thanks have been given, paeans to the pie god have been penned (speaking of which, you'd be doing yourself a pie-related favor if you grabbed a gander at a Caldwell Confections menu next time you're in the taproom), and many a merry mug has been hoisted in the name of sharing delicious drinkables during the holidays. And speaking of holidays...

Delicious crust? Check. Apple filling? Check. Bacon lattice? Holy shit. Check. 

Want to get a special something for that special someone, but can't narrow it down past "something from Bone Up?" Looking for a not-so-subtle way to suggest that you and your companion (be it acquaintance, significant other, or new friend you made on the bus) should spend more time at our little ol' brewery? Well we commend your good taste and support your indecision and/or hint dropping skills, because now we got gift cards!

Allow us one month of shameless merch promotion. It's Christmas!

And if you're more of a "go getter" (specifically in the sense of "go get a growler"), we're makin' some changes* to our growler situation! In short: since we can't legally fill any growlers other than our own, we'll give you 50% off the price of a new growler if you trade in one from somewhere else! So if you've got an ever-growing pile of growlers from breweries you're not likely to end up visiting again, bring 'em on by!

We ain't wild about the growler laws in MA either, so we're tryin' to make things easier for you!

And just what should you fill this shiny new growler with? We might be so bold as to humbly suggest one of the two new beers we're releasing this weekend! One is our long-awaited (by us) X-Mas/winter beer - a chocolate orange imperial stout - and the other is an oft-requested (yet generally oft-overlooked) style: amber ale! Drink up, fuckers!

 In keeping with our commitment towards not dumping a bunch of weird goop in our beers, this inky black stout's made with real-ass orange peel and a whole lotta Taza cocoa nibs!

Sometimes you just wanna sit back and enjoy the good times and not focus on your beer too much, so we crafted up this happy, humble lil' amber ale!

While we're rambling about holiday nonsense, it behooves us to mention once again that we will be closing a bit early (5 PM) on Sunday, December 11th for our "Annual" Employee Appreciation Day and/or Vaguely Holiday Themed Festivity-O-Rama. ​So mark your calendars, set alarms on your phones, or maybe just pay attention to the numerous alerts we'll be broadcasting, because we gon' be closed. 

December 11th also marks the deadline for entries in our coloring book contest! Well, technically it's Red Fang's contest that we're piggybacking on, but still! Coloring! Beer!

We had no idea coloring four dudes in the jungle would turn into a sass-a-thon, yet your entries in them speech bubbles keep proving us wrong.

* We'll readily admit that we "borrowed" this idea from somebody else, but we can't remember who so it's hard to give credit where credit is due.
