Welcome back! I hope you're hyped to hear me ramble about one of* our best-ever Made Up Holidays because that's, uh, that's the whole deal right now. That's what we're doin'.
Anyway we're gonna start off with something that is actually Entirely Not the thing I just said and that's cask! This ol' cask happens to be particularly near and/or dear to our hearts on account of how it's Blue Manic which is mighty tasty and we dry hopped it with a buncha Four Star Crystal (which is one of our favorite hops tbh) and it's gettin' tapped on Thursday and it's gonna be tasty and also it's probably gonna go fast, so come getcha some!

And speaking of things, I probably should have started with the programming note that we will be closed to the public starting at 5PM on Friday because we have a mug club event all evening on Friday. But I didn't lead with that and I don't think there's any way to move text upward (could you even imagine? That would be wild) so now we all have to deal with it.
Moving right along, we've got a new beer coming out this weekend! Somehow. This one's gonna be a treat for those of y'all who were fans of Skeleton Key (which is either a lot of you, or several extremely vocal people) because it was Heavily Inspired by that beer only also it's something different because of Reasons. Anyway the beer is called Civil Disobedience for Losers (named after the debut album by Indian Handcrafts, who were one of the bands that Liz and Jared saw on their first date many moons ago. Aww, etc) and it features Enigma (AKAed as Double Key Lime) that's been aged in three different barrels (SPD Apple Brandy, Summer Reserve, and a tequila barrel, also we tossed in some oak spirals that had been soaking in Summer Reserve for several years) plus a strong grapefruit beer that we brewed especially for this blend (also we used all of that batch for this blend, which in a way means it's a Bone Up beer that you can never have) and anyway it's tasty as all heck and it probably comes out on Saturday (on draft and in bottles) so come drink some!

And speaking of Saturday, this Saturday is the start of Horatio Day!** For those of you who might be new around here, Horatio is the name of our dapper logo dude and we like to throw him a birthday party every year and we feel like the best way to do that is by tapping a fuckton of barrel-aged beer! In practical terms, what this means is that most of our draft list is gonna get taken over by strong and/or barrel-aged beer (or both! Mostly both!) and on Saturday we're gonna have Black Tongue in the house servin' up sloppy joes (and they're, just, so good) and on Sunday we've got Lionheart Confections servin' up small-batch donuts and we're doin' a "keep the glass" thing all weekend where we will be giving out glassware (we probably won't be giving out all of our fancy stemware, but there will be glassware to grab) AND this is the first Horatio Day to feature live music! Saturday is gonna have an afternoon of surf rock provided by The Weisstronauts and The Electric Heaters, plus Dirk Tiede is gonna be doing live drawing during some or all of the music (which is honestly a lot more fun than it sounds like it should be) and then on Sunday we've got The Guilloteenagers and DnA's Evolution rockin' out in the taproom and it's gonna be one hell of a time so come on out and hang out with us!
Next we peer through the mists of time (which are admittedly pretty hazy on account of all the Horatio Day Shenanigans that are in the way) all the way to next week, when it turns out that we've got even more fun stuff going on! Next Thursday we've got The Final Audio Triviality and that means it's time for Satan Claws (i.e. holiday music)! And then next Friday we've got an event that we're super stoked about (which, as usual, means it's an event that nobody has asked for) and that's Bone Up Trivia! Liz and Jared put together a buncha noodle-scratchers about the best dang brewery around and YOU get to test your mettle and see how well you know your Bone Up Lore! And then next Saturday we're startin' the day off with Metal Yoga and then movin' right along to our Krampusnacht Holiday Art Market and anyway the point is that you should come do all this cool stuff!
* For those of you keeping score, Horatio Day is second only to The Anniversary - partly because the anniversary is longer and has more stuff happening, but also because warm.
** You may remember it as "that holiday you said you were going to talk about, which you then proceeded to not talk about" which is fair.
