Well hey there! We're comin' atcha with a whole mess of good beer and good times and all sortsa groovy things to help get you through The Holiday Season, so let's get on with it!
After hours light show!
And speaking of The Holidays, we should start by mentioning that we will be closing early - at 5 PM - this coming Sunday (12/12) so that we can have our annual staff holiday party and/or so Ben can force-feed us jello shots until it seems like a good idea for everyone to walk around the neighborhood with a folding table, challenging other businesses to games of flip-cup. Anyway, the point is that we're closing early on Sunday.
If you were wondering (and I'm sure you were), Short Path kicked our asses in flip cup. Looking at the above picture, I can hardly imagine how
And while we're still on about jollytimes, it behooves us to mention that we now* have Krampus shirts! These sweet (and comfy!) long-sleeve beauties feature an ugly-sweater-style print of our favorite anti-santa (and/or the inspiration for one of our favorite winter beers) and they were originally printed as an employee-only thing a little ways back but we liked 'em so much we wanted to share them with the world and anyway they're here and now you can get one!
KRAMPLMUNZ
Anyway, since we're theoretically here to talk about beer, let's talk about beer! First up is this week's trusty Thursday cask and this time around it's the return of our favorite beer to cask up on cask: Extra Naked! And since it wouldn't really be a cask unless we crammed a whole bunch of other stuff in there (with the exceptions being all those times that we don't do that), we went and jammed in a buncha Mass-grown Centennial and it's gonna be tasty as heck!
Yes, cask is great and you are great and Thursdays are great so come drink a great amount of beer
And keepin' that ol' beer train rollin' for a bit, we gots to tell you about Ozzy! Ozzy a caramel porter named after a dog and we actually released it last week (so in other words it's available right now) only we spent a day or two keepin' the release on the lowdown for surprise-related reasons but that cat's no longer in that dang ol' bag and that's a good thing because Ozzy (the beer, not the dog) is straight-up delicious and you should come enjoy some with us!
Not pictured: Ozzy (the dog, not the beer). These are his very pleased humans
And if you're a fan of dark beer in cans then you're in luck because this Friday we're releasing another dark beer in cans! This one, called Dark Humor, is kinda-sorta a belated birthday beer for our own anniversary celebrations that we held back in August. See, we had a bit of a last-minute lineup change for the bands at our anniversary party (long story) and new-to-us SkyTigers stepped up to play the Friday set and we were pretty much completely blown away. And while it's one of our favorite things ever to brew a beer for every band that plays at our party, SkyTigers was added to the roster with, like, two days to spare and brewing beer takes... more than two days.
Anyway long story short(er) we met up with the band and they wanted us to make a big ol' imperial stout with a pinch of vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon** and it may have taken a little (very) longer than we expected but it's out in a few days and it's damn good and you should have some!

The band wanted those specific adjuncts to "take that shit back from white girls" and we wholeheartedly approve this message
Oh! And! Speaking of dark beer in cans, cans of El Pulpo will be back on Friday for all your holiday shotgunning needs!
Anyway, gettin' down to the nitty and/or gritty of the hip haps around the taproom, we're kickin' things off on Thursday with more Simpsons trivia! There's almost definitely a theme (other than "The Simpsons" of course), and Chris probably told us what it was but we're just gonna go ahead and pretend that he was being mysterious about it to surprise y'all or something and anyway it'll be fun and you should come!
And then on Friday we got eats in the house! Bonetown is gonna be poppin' up with some tasty-ass BBQ startin' around and you should come getcha some!

Funtimes!
Then on Saturday we're keepin' on keepin' on with our Holiday Market Series and this time around we'll be featuring new-to-us artists Michelle Maroon and Katie Lane! They'll be hangin' in the taproom from noon 'til four and showcasing a bunch of art in a variety of mediums*** and you should come check it out!
And if you needed any more incentive to come hang out on Saturday, we're also gonna have The 'Nada Cart in the house starting at 2PM!

*nudge nudge* finish your holiday shopping in our taproom *nudge nudge*
And then on Sunday, we're keepin' that Holiday Market going with photographs from our very own Matt Darcy! You may also know Matt as our heavy metal trivia host or "that bartender with the ice cream tattoos" or you might know him by his Photographer Name**** (which is Bananamasher, by the way) but no matter how you slice it, he'll be slingin' photos in the taproom from noon until four (i.e. until right before we close for the day. Remember how we're closing early? From several paragraphs ago?) and you should come out and check it out!
Aaaand I was gonna end this by continuing my relentless shouting about Horatio Day (our upcoming made-up-holiday-and-barrel-aged-beer-extravaganza that takes place the weekend of January 7th) only we're still "finalizing" a couple of the "details," like the "beer menu" and probably "several other things." But! Even if we can't spill all the beans on the details just yet, we can tell you that it's gonna be fun as hell and you should come hang out with us!
Our ears are already ringing from all the good-natured yelling (at birds?)
* We've actually had them for a week or two, but sometimes your humble author(s) get to forgettin'.
** Truth be told, they originally said they wanted a pumpkin stout, which would have been released in early November (i.e. immediately after everybody stops buying pumpkin beer for ten months). Maybe next year.
*** Yes, I know that the plural of "medium" is "media," but that sounds weird.
**** Is... is this a thing? Do photographers usually come up with "street names" like rappers do? Or is this just a Matt thing?
