In Which... PULPO TIME!

11/6/2019

0 Comments

 
Greetings, traveler. I trust you've been well. And more importantly, I trust you're ready to come hang out at yet another made-up holiday* because this week is the first ever Pulpo Day! But I'll get to all that in just a bit, because we also got a whole lotta cool stuff comin' atcha before that, so read on and read up!
Picture
First on that ol' docket is something that's not exactly "news" in the sense that you've seen/tasted/experienced this beer before (albeit all too briefly) but we're gonna tell y'all anyway: Los Aromos is on tap! Right now! For real this time! Thassright, you can get that sneaky-smooth bone-dry passionfruit goodness on tap until it runs out! And. AND. Since it was a collaboration with T'Ahpas 529, it's also gonna be on tap over there for a good long while, which means you've got yet another excuse to get on over there!
Picture
Also on tap right now is BoNanza! This here's a beer brewed for a wedding, specifically the wedding of Bob and Nani (who both like pizZa, hence the name BoNanza) and they gave us a bit of a brain buster when it came down to brainstormin': long story short, they wanted to put the I back in IPA and feature some ingredients that would be a nod to Nani's Indian heritage so we put on our ol' thinkin' caps and after ruling out things that we didn't think would fit an IPA (turmeric) and a few wildcards (fenugreek), we went with ginger! So this here's a lightly-sweet, citrussy-hoppy IPA with a (somewhat hefty) dab of ginger thrown in and dang if it ain't delightful!
Picture
Moving slightly past right now, on Wednesday (and then again on Sunday) we're doin' more cheese flights! This time around our creamery of the month is one of our favorites - Jasper Hill from Greensboro Bend, VT - and we've got a pretty righteous flight to pair with their delicious cheeses and you should come try it!
Picture
Speaking of things that are delicious, this week's trusty Thursday cask is an old favorite of ours: Extra Naked! And since this here's a beer what's been on cask a time or two, we figured we'd "mix it up" a lil' bit and see how ol' XN stands up to the more assertive hop profile provided by Cascade and Centennial! Spoiler alert: it will be heck of tasty. ​
Picture
Also on Thursday is this month's edition of Audio Triviality! This time around it's focused on 90's punk/hardcore, which means that our time-tested method of answering every question with "Hoobastank" will continue to be as effective as ever.** Anyway, it's gonna be fun so you should come on out!
Picture
Anyway. Saturday. Pulpo Day. Just what the hell is a Pulpo Day, you ask? Why, it's none other than a day celebrating our favorite Winter Seasonal, a chocolate orange imperial stout named El Pulpo! And since we got just too much info to cram into one dang ol' paragraph, we're gonna do this up in handy-dandy Q 'n' A format!

​
When is Pulpo Day?
This Saturday - 11/9 - all dang day!
Picture
Are you releasing any other beers?
Kind of! We're gonna have regular ol' El Pulpo on tap (and in cans), plus we're gonna have barrel-aged El Pulpo on tap (for a limited time) and in bottles (for a longer time) and we're diggin' out a couple kegs of Vintage Pulpo: 2018, 2017, and the barrel-aged 2018 version! That's FIVE Pulpos on tap, which means you're gonna have to make some difficult decisions if you're the flight type!

Will there be food?
Of course! In addition to all our regular goodies, we got The Bacon Truck comin' through from 2-8 (and hopefully bringin' some delicious bacon truffles)!
Picture
Will there be cool new swag?
Yes! We've got Pulpo stickers and some cool new glassware for our barrel-aged beers (which isn't Pulpo-specific, but it is on the way as we speak, and we should get them in time to fill them with Pulpo), and there's been talk of gettin' some Pulpo shirts, but those ain't gonna be here for Saturday so if that's a thing you want then you're gonna have to wait a little longer. 

Will you have chocolate oranges again?
Probably! We ordered them, anyway, so they'd better be here in time. 

Why brew a chocolate orange stout every year?
Jared's dad likes it so much that we aren't allowed to stop making it. 

Why make an entire day out of it?
Because it's fun! And also because El Pulpo variants were starting to take over the entire menu on Horatio Day (the holiday we made up in celebration of our logo and/or barrel-aged beer) and we gotta leave some room on that draft list for all of our other fun projects (we have a lot of fun projects this year).
What does an imperial stout have to do with octopi?
Nothing! But it sure does look cool on that label, dunnit?
Picture
Do you have any other cool bottle releases coming up?
I'm glad you asked, helpful strawman - we do indeed! We've got Joybringer on the 15th (next week! And it should also be on tap by then!), and then Joyrider - the barrel-aged version of Joybringer - comes out on the 22nd and we're releasing our flannels on that same day and then on the 27th (the day before Thanksgiving, also known - to us - as Shitty Wednesday) we're comin' out with four variations of Melvin the Mammoth (our "barleywine"): straight-up and rum-barrel-aged and rye-barrel-aged and blended with a whiskey-barrel-aged ginger farmhouse! Also all these fun barreled beers will be on tap at some point (including but not limited to Horatio Day), but we've only got 12 draft lines and it would be silly of us to fill nine of them with strong and/or barrel-aged beer. Oh, and also there's gonna be more bottle releases after that (hopefully more-or-less weekly for a good while), but we'll get to that in due time. 
Picture
Oh! And! If you happen to find yourself somewhere other than Pulpo Day on Saturday (for whatever silly reason), we're gonna be doin' a thing at/for a historical house! See, friend-of-the-brewery (and former bartender, and former cardboard cutout model) Bubs lives in The Historical Hartshorne House in Wakefield and he wanted to throw another cool history/beer/house-themed event so we brewed up a special beer*** and we're gonna be there all evening to awkwardly ramble about our beer/brewery in front of a bunch of (old) strangers! Fun times!
Picture
Last up is a thing I already mentioned but I'm excited about it so I'm gonna say it again: Cheese! Flights! On! Sunday!
Picture
* Yes, technically all holidays are made up. But this is one (of several) that WE made up and also one that (sadly) goes generally unacknowledged in the world at large.  
** Not very. 
*** Last year we brewed Hartshorne for this very same event. Remember that beer? I miss that beer.
