Hello friends! It's blog time again and we got us some big ol' blog times for your enjoy, so buckle up and read up!
What is it? You'll have to come on it and find out your dangself!
First and/or foremost, we're maybe a smidge light on beer news this week on account of how we just spent seven weeks releasing one new beer after the other* but we're pretty sure we're gonna be tappin' up a cask this Thursday only we may not be 100% sure of the contents and that's definitely not because we forgot to write it down before we sat down to write the blog. But anyway: cask! Probably!
Holdin' out for Little Portugal
And speaking of Thursday, we're (kind of) gonna have a popup on Thursday! Yes indeedy, we've got a private event renting out our main taproom on Thursday evening and they're bringin' in Wild Fox Pierogi and the fine folks at Wild Fox said they'd be amenable to slingin' some pierogi to the General Public and that probably means you so come get some pierogi!
Dinner plans are taken care of, like, every day this weekend. You're welcome.
And while we're goin' on about foods that are their own container(s), on Friday we're bringin' in Mr. Tamole! It's been a dang ol' minute since we've had him in our taproom and we are damn excited to welcome him back, so come on out and show some love!
And speaking of friends we've sorely missed these past 18 months or so (who also so happen to make tasty treats, which also so happen to fit in the "foods that are their own container(s)" category), this Saturday marks the first time in a long time that we get to see our friends from Matilda's! They make some straight-up incredible pastelitos and we're plannin' on seein' them a fair bit over the fall, but really the point is their food is tasty as hell and you should come eat some!
And then! On Sunday, just when you thought we'd exhausted our options in this needlessly-specific category of foods, we're hosting a ravioli making class! This event is new to us so there are maybe a few unknowns on our end, but we *do* know it will result in butternut squash ravioli with wild mushroom sauce, so it would probably be a silly decision if you *didn't* sign up? I dunno, just sayin'. Grab your tickets here: Ravioli Time!

Please stop crying! We have almost an entire batch of each, so you've got like a month to say your goodbyes.
And! Lastly! We did promise last week that we'd provide more insight into our decision to "sunset"** Key Lime and Wasted Life and we kinda thought we'd have some big ol' speech ready or something but really it boils down to the fact that we're better at making beer than we used to be. We love Key Lime, but we've learned a lot about making fruit beers in the past five years. We love Wasted Life, but we (and the beer world in general) have a different relationship with hops than we used to.
And to some extent, we realized that it was silly to keep making one-off beers that we liked *more* than our flagships, which meant we had to rethink a few things. So. We'll still be having at least one fruity beer on the menu at all times, but we'll be mixin' up the fruits from season to season (whilst keeping a similar-if-not-identical base). And we'll certainly be havin' our fair share of hoppy shit flowin' through our draft lines (this is America after all), but ol' Wasted Life will be a bit more of a bit player. We're sad to see these beers go - they've been with us since Day One and then some - but sentimentality ain't everything, so we're sayin' "smell ya later" for now and moving forward not backward, upward not forward, and we damn well think you'll enjoy!
Until next week, campers!

** As you may have guessed, we don't completely know what that word means in this context. But also we don't refer to beers as "brands" and we don't talk about y'all as "consumers" so what do you really expect
