Hello again! We got us one a' them hollerday weekends comin' up (and if TV is any indicator, this particular holiday is Discount Mattress themed) which means we got us a jampacked lineup full of tasty beers and fun times and maybe even some treats thrown in for good measure!
Speakin' of tasty beers: as you may have noticed, our draft list is slowly shifting from "begrudgingly accepting the realities of winter" over to "pretending that it's spring in the hopes that the weather will notice," which in this case means we're loadin' up on all things bright and crisp and refreshing! More to the point, this past weekend saw the quiet(ish) release of two new beers that we've been stoked on since they were but a twinkle in the eye and a shimmy in the mash paddle: Stag and Big deLICious!

They grow up so fast...
Stag's a pale ale made with Maine grains and Masscade - brewed especially for our friends up at Gulu Gulu Cafe up in Salem! It's on tap right now at our digs and at theirs, which really means you've got no excuse to not drink this beer.
Staaaaaagggggg
And for Big deLICious we teamed up with our friends down in Queens (specifically, Jon and Dom from Big aLICe) to make a hoppy farmhouse that's made to showcase grains from our neck o' the woods and theirs (because, y'know, we're so far apart and all). Anyway it lives up to its name, but you ain't gotta take our word for it nosiree because now you can come drink it!
Tastes like friendship!
And gettin' to the good times, we've got a new-to-us event goin' on this Thursday: Sip and Script Calligraphy! The name pretty much says it all (and provides the tacit suggestion that drinking might improve your handwriting), but it is worth mentioning that a) this is a ticketed, limited-capacity event (which nonetheless had a few spots available last time we checked), and 2) the taproom will otherwise be operating as normal during that time. That's gonna somewhat put the squeeze on table space for a little while, and you might be shushed during your weekly Full-Volume Zoidberg Impression Contest,* but more importantly it's gonna be fun as heck and you should probably just be a part of it.
Speakin' of Thursday, we're also puttin' on the second - slightly different - cask of Stag! This time around we dry hopped it with New York-grown Cascade as opposed to Massachusetts-grown Cascade and we're gonna compare and contrast, which is honestly super exciting if you're kind of a dork about this sort of stuff.
(Which we are.)
Moving on, Friday brings the return of Spoko Pierogi and their delicious dishes - they'll be here from six PM until nine or until y'all completely devour their entire stock of food and they're forced to retreat back to their kitchen, whichever comes first!
(Seriously though, you don't wanna miss these.)
And on Sunday we've got relative newcomers Brato Kitchen comin' by with some brunch action for ya! From 12-3, they'll be slingin' sourdough French toast, blueberry crumble, chili maple chorizo, and more!
The brunch game is strong with these two.
Oh, and! We're open on Monday from 12-8pm for President's Day! Come say hey!
Bonus round!
*You know who you are.
