Howdy do friendaroos! We've got some fun and/or tasty times in store for all y'all, but first we've got a couple "programming notes" to get through, so buckle up because this week has been a ride and we're takin' y'all with us!
And we might as well start off with an Expansion Update:* in short, there is now a giant stupid wall going across our lobby. Remember how some people used to get irritated about having to walk across our lobby to use the bathroom? Well those people are not in for the best of times, because now you have to go outside (and then, preferably, back inside) in order to relieve yourself, which is really a stunning display of the kind of coordination and/or communication we've come to expect from having work done in this building. The details of how/why this came to be are honestly unimportant (suffice to say, it's related to the assertion - from the people doing the work - that everything can and will be done in two weeks. We're a week past the time that assertion was being made, and the drywall is still only 70% complete), but it's worth mentioning that this will be our reality for longer than you might think is reasonable. If we're in the same place next winter (which we're not ruling out) we'll have to just Kool-Aid-Man through the wall or something so we don't have to do this for more than one winter, but for the time being we pretty much just have to roll with it whether we like it or not (we don't, if that wasn't obvious).

And on an unrelated but also bummer note, the sign on the front of the building (that big 5x5 banner with our logo on it) blew off the building at some point over the weekend. So, uh, if you happen to see our sign floating around somewhere, maybe grab it? That would be super nice of you.
And since we're on a roll here, we might as well say that there will be no cask this week on account of the (short term) every-other-week schedule for casks. Hopefully we'll be back to every week starting next week.
But anyway, you didn't come here to here us gripe about things that are frustrating and/or lament the loss of signage, you came here to hear about all the cool stuff we're doin', so cool stuff we shall!

We WILL have fun this week dammit
And starting on Wednesday (which is to say, tonight) we've got our regularly scheduled fiddle jam session! For those of you who might be new around here, the name kinda says it all - there's gonna be a bunch of people with fiddles or fiddle-adjacent instruments hangin' out and jammin' on some olde-timey tunes in our taproom, and you're welcome to join in! Or just hang out and listen in! It's honestly a pretty fun time even from a listener's standpoint, and I'm not just saying that because they played that song from Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
And then on Thursday we've got Chris in the house with more Simpsons Trivia! He ran out of seasons to use in his "one season per month" rotation, so the theme this month is "The Season of Love" which might (but probably won't) feature lots of questions from that one clip episode that may or may not have the same name (we do not know episode names). Anyway, it's gonna be a buncha fun and there's cool prizes as always and you should come out!
And then we're relatively light on events through the weekend (other than our usual Sunday sushi class), but we've got Nagomi Bento comin' by on Friday and something something support your local food popup because they make lots of delicious stuff, so come have snacks and drink beer!
Anyway, moving on to early next week, we've got Sip & Script in the house with a calligraphy class on Monday and then we're hosting an MCU trivia night on Thursday (and Seabiscuit will be here slingin' pies) that definitely won't involve a bunch of nerds (which could include you!) schooling Matt on Marvel trivia and anyway the point is that we've also got fun times lined up for future times, so you should probably clear your calendar and grab a stool!
