In Which Things Take a Kafkaesque Turn

Hello again! We're gettin' all primped and prepped for our upcoming Kafka Day celebrations, but that don't mean we ain't got other cool stuff goin' on, so read on!

Side note: we had an absolute BALL hangin' out with our new pals in Actor|Observer during Band Hangouts last weekend! Come try our collab beer (Fool's Gold IPA) in the taproom now!

Moving right along, this week's Expansion Update is a brief one because there really is no update. They stopped doing demo last Wednesday (they weren't done, they just stopped) and that's... pretty much it, really. They didn't say why they stopped, nor did they tell us when they'd be back, so we get to wait and see. Fun times!

Pray tell, where have the demo elves gone? Off to smoke weed in the parking lot, no doubt

And speaking of less-than-exciting news, there may or may not be a cask this Thursday. There was a bit of a... technical issue with the cask we were going to tap this week (it leaked a smallish amount, and we don't have a way to assess the extent of the issue without tapping it) so we're gonna tap it and try it and if it's all good to go then we're gonna have a cask of Sticky Fingers (the beer) dry hopped with Sticky Fingers (the hop blend) and it's gonna be great because pale ale is mighty tasty on cask and if it doesn't work out then we'll do what we always do when things go wrong (cry in the cold room and then go on with our days/lives), so keep them eyes peeled on our social medias to see if we're gonna get to have some cask!

T! B! D!

And speaking of Thursday (and/or moderately disappointing news), Audio Triviality is postponed because Matt's off being weird in the woods or whatever it is he does when he's not here and instead it will be held on Friday March 10th but in the meantime (i.e. This Thursday) we'll be hosting a candle making workshop instead! You'll get to make a candle in a souvenir Bone Up glass and also a portion of the ticket sales is being donated to Northeast Animal Shelter, so come on out and get your candle on!

Get tickets here: French Press Candle Workshop

And movin' right along towards the weekend, we'll be closed to the public Friday evening for our quarterly-ish members only Mug Club Party which just so happens to coincide with the Big To Do this weekend which is...

Kafka Day! All day on Saturday and Sunday we're gonna be celebratin' barrel-aged beer and also releasing a whole bunch of barrel-aged and/or strong beers (six different beers! Five of which are barrel-aged!) and there's a Private Guided Tasting (tickets are still available!) on Saturday morning if you're so inclined (they're pretty fun, so long as you're okay with being handed a bunch of barrel-aged beer samples at noon) and we're gonna have food from Matilda's Pastelitos all afternoon on Saturday and then a waffle brunch on Sunday (featuring Liege waffles from Eastern Standard and a selection of sauces) and anyway it's gonna be a whole dang weekend that's completely jam-packed full of fun (and also a whole bunch of cool beers), so come hang out with us!

Once again, this holiday continues to have perfect timing because **** our ******* property management

And then gazing into the ol' crystal kettle to see what all we've got goin' on next week, we've got Simpsons Trivia next Thursday (the theme is "rivals") and the probably-much-awaited return of Audio Triviality next Friday (it's Punk Music night!) and anyway the good times keep on comin', so come on out and have some good times with us!

I actually love seeing how different these graphics look next to each other lol
