Howdy! I hope you're ready for some good tastes and good times and maybe a smidge of "holiday cheer" and/or some general sassiness, 'cuz that's what we gon' give ya!
First on up, we'd be remiss if we didn't remind you about our second-favorite day of the year (which is, unsurprisingly, a made-up holiday): Horatio Day! It's on Saturday January 4th and we're gonna have a silly amount of barrel-aged beer (see below for the menu) and also we're bringin' back the Horatio Costume Contest! The rules for the contest are simple: get yourself gussied up to look like Horatio and tag us on the Instagram with the hashtag #horatioday2020 and maybe you'll win a prize! Bonus points are awarded to people who are so thorough that they weird out people at the bar, but so far the only person to do that is Jared and he can't win anyway.
Movin' right along, this week's trusty Thursday cask is yet another tried 'n' true old favorite around here: Extra Naked! And since this here's a beer that's so near and dear, we decided to "spice things up" a bit with a little bit of a new-to-us hop (namely Eroica) and a little bit of a tried-and-true-but-not-usually-found-in-this-beer hop (namely Galena) and it's gonna be tasty times!
Speaking of Thursday, we've got more trivia on Thursday! And this particular trivia host likes to be a bit cryptic with his themes, so all we know is that the theme is "the holidays. All of them" and if that don't tickle your temptations, I dunno what will.
Speaking of temptations, this week is the last week in our Holiday Market Series, which means it's also our last bottle release of the year! This time around, the bottle in question is a special beer brewed for a special occasion that just so happened to happen seven months ago,* but the beer is ready now and it's Fig Pig! It's a lightly-smoky imperial porter brewed with figs and aged in a Short Path Distilling whiskey barrel and dang but it is tasty and it's available in bottles (and maybe on tap if we're feelin' fancy) starting on Friday!
And while we're on about Friday, we've got another ding-dang beer release for you! Remember last week when I said we had some hoppy and/or session stuff waitin' in the wings? Well wait no longer because this Friday marks the triumphant unveiling of Mandarina! This lil' beer is a back-to-basics pale ale featuring relatively-new-to-us Mandarina Bavaria and it's straight-up tasty as heck!
And you know what else is tasty as heck? Top Shelf Cookies! And it just so happens that we've got them swingin' through on Friday as well, totin' cookies (duh) and - if you're the plan-ahead-and-preorder type - holiday cookie platters!
And if you're gonna be inside drinking beer and eating cookies and hiding from the outside world, you should probably have something to do, right? Well you're in luck because we've got video games! Yes indeedy, this Friday evening our friends from Wicked Retro Games are comin' through and lettin' you relive your 16-bit glory days!
Oh! And! Since all those sweets need some heat, we're runnin' a sale on our house-brand hot sauce (made for us by our friends at Alex's Ugly Sauce)!
And if that weren't enough weekend wackiness for ya, we've got the Bacon Truck comin' through the taproom on Saturday slingin' bacon and bacon-themed treats!
Then on Sunday we're keepin' that ol' new-hoppy-beer train rollin' with the release of Life Sentence! Long story short, we wanted to celebrate a silly milestone** so we took the recipe for our favorite IPA (Wasted Life, natch) and doubled all the hops! It's... it's so good, you guys.
Speaking of Sunday, we're closing a bit early - at 6 PM on Sunday - for a well-deserved staff holiday party! And while we're on about holiday hours, here are our holiday hours for next week:
* Specifically, the brewing of our 300th batch
** Specifically, the brewing of our 350th batch
