In Which Things Start to Get Spooktacular

Well hey there! We've got a whole buncha spooktacular stuff lined up for all y'all but first we'd like to thank everyone who came out to that show we had on Friday (the one we had to move inside on almost zero notice) and we hope you had fun because we thought it went pretty well and at one point we were like "you know what? Fuck it, let's throw some more shows in the space that we do have." And there might be a bit of an "Allston basement show" vibe for a bit (albeit with better beer and ideally an audience that's comprised mostly/entirely of people who have showered recently) but "making the best of what we've got" is pretty much our whole thing so let's see how this goes! Anyway nothing is set in stone but we've got our "feelers out" so keep them eyes peeled for updates!

Anway movin' on to some spooktacular suds for your sippin' pleasure we're tappin' yet another cask on Thursday and this one in particular is one that we're pretty jazzed on* and that's 700! As you may have guessed, this beer was brewed to celebrate the brewing of our 700th batch (and also it's on tap right now by the way) and this time around we decided to take a recipe we'd brewed before (specifically the recipe for We're All Doomed because of Reasons) and then we just boiled it for 4X as long as we normally do which darkened it up a fair bit and gave it some really nice caramel undertones on account of all the caramelization that happened in the kettle and anyway it's tasty as heck and you should come drink some!

And speaking of new beer, it's worth mentioning that we're also tappin' up a buncha spooktacular old beer as well! Or rather, we've been diggin' through the ol' Aging Cellar** and we dug up some tasty treats from Bygone Days (and/or several months ago, which was a less spooktacular time) so we're gonna have a couple lines that are rotating through some cellared and/or barrel-aged beer that we've been squirrelin' away, so come on by and grab some while we've got some!

Currently on from the cellar:

• The Hourglass, tripel
• Horatio's Reserve,  barrel aged barleywine
• Undercurrents, mixed fermentation farmhouse ale
• Artificial Reaper, barrel aged dark strong ale
• El Pulpo, 2019 cellar vintage (tapping today!)

And speaking of fun times (we were speaking of fun times, right? That seems like the kind of thing we would do) we've got some spooktacular fun times! First up on Thursday is Simpsons Trivia! The theme once again is "brewhouse of horror" and it'll honestly be interesting to see how Chris manages to milk more questions out of the same twelve halloween specials, but you'll have to come out to find out, so come hang out! 

Then on Friday we've got more live music in the taproom! This is an acoustic set (a normal one, not an acoustic extravaganza like last time) featuring new-to-the-taproom Michael Boezi so come on out and give a listen! 

But wait! Did somebody say "spooktacular?" Probably not, because people don't tend to say "spooktacular" that much in normal life (especially without reason) but that's okay because we've got some spooktacular Halloween Metal Yoga happening on Saturday! 

And of course on Sunday the spooktacular times continue with another hella fun sushi class, but you knew that already (and you're probably all like "those look like fun, I really should do one at some point" and yes, you totally should, because they are fun dammit).

And then next week we've got a buncha stuff comin' atcha with Bonsai Bar in the house next Tuesday and then an acoustic set from Olivia Lowe next Friday and our Ghastly Gala Art Market next Saturday which is sure to be full of a whole buncha spooktacular stuff, so come on out and do all this cool stuff we planned for you! 

* Not that we don't love having Extra Naked on cask pretty much every week - we actually love that - but a little variety is nice once in a while.
