Well hey there! Welcome back to our blog! This week we're comin' atcha with some largely-unsurprising news and also some stuff about beer,* so read on and read up!
Woop woop woop woop
Bar seats are back! While we weren't quite comfortable jumping in with both feet back to "the way things used to be" the moment the restrictions got lifted, we felt like it was time to make that next step back toward normalcy (or what passes for normalcy around here). And now the real noodle-scratcher is: did we feel like things Out In The World are actually getting better/safer, or did we just get tired of turning away grumpy boomers who are stubbornly hellbent on sitting at the bar (and only at the bar)? We'll let you draw your own conclusions on that one.
Go on, grab a seat. Spin around. Throw a coaster at your bartender.
Oh! And it's also worth mentioning that, with the return of bar seating, we're partly doing away with our table-service-only situation. We'll still be doing table service in the lower part of the beer garden (i.e. the asphalt) because "people who have been drinking" plus "carrying glassware" plus "stairs" is really not a recipe for success, but if you're inside or on the terrace (i.e. our raised, covered patio) you're welcome to saunter on up to the bar just like old times!
You best gets a steppin', because with this heat, this may very well be the last cask release until the fall
And speaking of things that are just like old times, we're tappin' another cask this Thursday! This time around we're goin' back to our favorite beer to put on cask (Extra Naked, obviously) and we "juiced it up" with some new-to-us hops (Hydra and cashmere) and it's gonna be mighty tasty!
Stupid birds think they're so great, with their feathers and whatever. We'll show them!
And while we're talking about beer, it behooves us forthwith to tell you about the new** beer we have in bottles: Yelling at Birds! For this particular blend, we took our beloved tripel and aged it in a buncha blueberry liqueur barrels that we got from our friends over at Short Path and we daresay it's mighty tasty!
Any day we get to combine our loves of heavy metal and craft beer is a good day
Also! Lastly! We're stoked to announce say that we're a part of the Vox & Hops Brewtal North America collab! For those of you who haven't heard of this project yet, the heavy metal podcast Vox & Hops put together a bigass collab project where a bunch of breweries get paired up with a bunch of metal bands and everybody releases a beer at/around the same time and we got paired up with the new-to-us death metal band Fuming Mouth (who are completely awesome, btw) and they suggested a smoked brown ale (which is pretty friggin' metal tbh) and it's coming out at the end of the month!
* Having news about beer on a brewery's blog is also probably not something you'd want to file under "surprising"
** We would have announced it sooner, but we had no idea when the hell the labels were gonna show up. Turns out the label industry is having some fun issues right now.
