Howdy all! We're back in action with more fun times than you can shake a stick at, even if you're particularly talented at stick-shaking. Anyway we've given ourselves quite the set of expectations to live up to, so let's get to it!
In case you were wondering how our "staff meeting" went on Sunday
First on up is our trusty cask! This Thursday we'll be tappin' up a pin of a fast-favorite around here and that's On-On! And we figured a nice 'n light base beer would provide the perfect backdrop for some fun-as-hell new(ish)-to-us hops so we crammed a buncha Vista in there too and it's gonna be tasty and you should come have some!
CAAAASSSSKKKKK
And while we're talkin' about things that are tasty, we're excited to announce our newest band collab (and our first new beer release in, like, a week): Man Overboard! This one's a collaboration with our new friends in North Star the Wanderer and when we originally met with them they had a buncha big-picture ideas about the beer evoking images of storm-tossed seas and all that, and we're all about stuff like that so we brought them in for a blending session (because of course this beer had to be a barrel-aged blend, what else could it be?) and after a whole dang bunch of tasting and blending and debating the merits of one blend vs. another (which honestly involved less shouting than you might expect), we arrived at this tasty-ass blend that's on tap and in bottles on Friday and you should come try some!
Tread carefully with this one... there's a non-zero chance someone will have a few pints and get lost down by the Malden River or something, shouting about shipwrecks I dunno
And speaking of North Star the Wanderer, as luck* would have it they'll be at our Band Hangouts event on Friday! They'll be joining three other bands (Worshipper, Conclave, and Z28) who are all gonna be hangin' out in the taproom all evening and slingin' merch and generally just havin' a good time and you should come join us!
And since we're (still) talkin' about Friday, on Friday evening we're also gonna have Mr. Tamole in the house! He'll be dishin' up tamales all evening and also I really hope that he's bringing his mole chicken because holy hell it is so good. We (your humble bloggers) bought like a couple gallons of it last time and we ran out much faster than I'm willing to admit.
And then on Saturday we've got a popup we ain't seen in a dang ol' minute and that's The Crypt! They'll be in the house dishin' up some horror-themed sandwiches and also some delicious-sounding beignets and if you're a fan of tasty snackin' you should come say hi!

Come do the thing!
We'd also like to take the time to remind you about our regularly-scheduled Barks 'n Brews Pint Parties on Sundays and Tuesdays, where we encourage you to come out with your furry friends and we'll be donating a portion of the proceeds to a different animal-themed charity every month (starting in May it's Buddy Dog Humane Society in Sudbury) and we'll start having Blanche's Ice Cream every Tuesday in May (which is... this week? How is it May already) and it's a great way to drink beer for a good cause, so grab your pups and come on by!
And speaking of Tuesday, this Tuesday we've got Matt Heaton comin' by for Surf Guitar Happy Hour! So if the dogs and ice cream weren't enough to entice you out, there's also gonna be surf rock! And since surf rock has been clinically proven to be the ideal daytime/evening drinkin' music, you'd really be doing yourself a disservice if you missed out!
Dogs, ice cream, surf rock... really what more do you need
But getting back to recurring events for a moment, it's worth mentioning that we are still hosting sushi classes on the regular, only the schedule for said classes has become a bit more irregular/erratic now that the weather's warming up a bit, so keep an eye on them event dates if you're lookin' to sign up!
Seriously, Chef Harold is an artist
And for those of you lookin' a bit further into the future, next weekend is our Dungeons & Drinks weekend! We're doin' up a buncha nerd/geek-centric stuff all weekend long and we (being nerds/geeks ourselves) are quite stoked about it! On Thursday our regularly-scheduled music trivia night Audio Triviality will be turnin' their focus on Star Wars! And then on Friday there's gonna be retro video games to play (courtesy of Wicked Retro) and games/game-themed items for sale (courtesy of Wicked Gaming) and also a buncha collectibles and funkos and stuff (courtesy of Lax Card Collectibles)! And then cappin' off the event on Saturday we'll be running a D&D one-shot in the side room (or rather, an experienced DM will be running it, we personally have unfortunately dungeoned very few dragons in our time) and we'll have a whole boatload of comic artists/authors and also at least one artist that isn't affiliated with a comic as far as we know but his art is rad and anyway that list is: KC Green (Gunshow, He is a Good Boy, This is Fine), Andrew MacLean (Head Lopper, ApocalypiGirl, LaserWolfAttack), Ansis Puriņš (Super Magic Forest, Craft Beer & Brewing Mag), and Adam Cutler (Monday Mosh Monsters) and they'll be hangin' out and sellin' merch and anyway it's gonna be hella fun and you should join us!
Unreasonably excited for this weekend!
* Planning, but it takes a lot of luck for our plans to come through. Or, like, exist.
