Hey there, friends! We did some stuff and we're doin' some stuff and we brewed some stuff and we're drinkin' some stuff and anyway we're gonna talk about some of that stuff, so check it out!
And trustily filling the forefront of our minds/blogs is our trusty Thursday cask, once again filling the role of "easiest beer to order with just a hand gesture."* Anyway I guess it's probably more interesting if you know what we filled the cask with, and it's (shockingly) Extra Naked! And even more to the point, we took that cask and threw in a buncha Triumph (grown by our friends at Four Star Farms, of course) and now the beer tastes like it has Triumph in it and that's a good thing but you sure ain't gotta take my word for it because you're gonna come drink some with us! Maybe!

And speaking of beer, it would be precipitously advanterial of us to mention posthaste that we released Master of Extremity last Friday (which means it's available in cans right now) and that beer is tasty as hell and I only didn't mention it to you last week because, at the time of writing, nobody had told me that we were going to do that. Anyway it's a west coast pale ale that we brewed in collaboration with Fuming Mouth and we're sending a bunch of it down to Philly for the Decibel Metal and Beer fest, but also we hung on to some to share with y'all because we thought y'all would also like it (and/or *we* want to drink a bunch of it, which is a lot harder to do when it's in a different state) and the point is that it's here and you should drink some!
And while we're on about cool beers that we made with rad death metal bands for an awesome fest (and also for us/you to enjoy in the comfort of our taproom), this Friday we're releasing our collab with All Out War and it's a dry-hopped ginger farmhouse** (using, among other things MA-grown Chaos) and it's surprisingly light/easy-drinking considering its strength and anyway it's delicious (and can-only btw) and you should drink some of that beer too!
And gettin' on to the events portion of this here blog, we've got some cool events coming up! First up on Wednesday (which is to say, tonight) we've got a calligraphy class! Sip & Script is settin' up in the taproom and teaching people (which could include you!) how to draw words all fancy-like and tickets are here and a ticket includes all the materials you need (except for the words themselves, you might have to source some words to write) and anyway it's a good time and you should come out!
Then on Thursday we've got Matt back on the mic with Strange and Bizarre Facts Trivia! The last time he did one of these it was hella fun so we're looking forward to this one, and to "sweeten the deal" we're gonna have Seabiscuit poppin' up with pies all evening too!
And speaking of Tasty Times, on Friday we've got Tasty BBQ back in the taproom! Last time they came through it was like zero degrees outside, but this time around it's supposed to be warmer so let's give them a warm welcome! Also their food is great, that part is definitely worth mentioning. It's not just a clever name, etc.

But wait! We have more beers to release! This one is called Shade Queen and it's a dark saison we brewed as our Pink Boots/International Women's Month beer! And things get even more collaborationy when I tell you that this beer is also a collaboration with our friends at Distraction Brewing down in Roslindale! Long story short, they brewed a beer with the same name and (roughly) the same recipe and they're releasing their version at their brewery at some point soon and we're tapping ours as soon as it goes into kegs (which might be right now, or more likely/definitely Thursday) and anyway you know it's gonna be tasty because it was brewed with Girl Power™ (as opposed to our other beers, which are brewed with "a woman just doing her damn job like any other day" which doesn't make for as good of a photo-op) and anyway you should come try some!
And then getting back to events and/or fun/tasty times, Saturday brings us the return of the Hot Sauce Fest! We're gonna have a handful of cool local hot sauce companies (namely Lizard Mill, The Spicy Shark, and Hillside Harvest) in here slingin' samples and peddlin' their wares AND we've got Almarso World Flavor Kitchen (aka Street Dogs( in the house dishin' up NACHOS (and we are told that they are *very* excited to be a part of this event) and anyway the point is that it's gonna be a good time and you should come out!
And then getting farther into the future, we've got some cool stuff goin' on next week! Next Wednesday (the 22nd) we've got some friends in the house hosting a Rock Band Night! We didn't realize until recently that we were hosting a video game-themed night on the eve of one of the biggest video game conventions around, but we're locked in and it's gonna be fun and you will at the very least get some good people watching in, so come on out! And then next Thursday (the 23rd) we've got Left Couch Comedy in the house with another comedy night (and I think she said this one was going to be a "showcase show" but I don't actually know what that means or how it's different from the way we've been doing it?) and then next Friday (the 24th) is our monthly Band Hangouts (featuring Severed Boy, Knock Over City, Bedtimemagic, and Casket Rats) and we'll be releasing our collab beer with Vox & Hops (it's part of a worldwide "mosh pit-themed" beer collab) and also we're gonna be doing all the regular Cool Stuff that we do around here (drinking beer, talking about beer, snacking, maxin' and/or relaxin') so come hang out with us!
* Pointing at your empty glass doesn't COUNT especially because I probably already FORGOT what was IN there in the first place
** It just says "ale" on the can or something like that because the TTB*** doesn't think that farmhouse is a "real style," which is a weird thing to insist on? Especially since other breweries definitely use that term, but also it's not like we can argue with them on it.
*** The federal beer police, kind of. It stands for "Tax and Trade Bureau" which belies the fact that they primarily exist to collect taxes on alcohol, being snippy about labels is apparently a side benefit.
