Well hey there! It's blog time again, so let's blog up the blogginest blog we can blog and also maybe make some friends along the way!
Pictured: proof of friends
And speaking of friends, it's (finally) time for the Decibel Beer and Metal Fest! Yes indeedy, we'll be schleppin' ourselves all the way out to the City of Brotherly Apples (i.e. Philadelphia) and we're gonna be pourin' beers and headbangin' and doin' all kindsa groovy things all weekend long! This fest is also the reason that we brewed Fixation on Red Ale (our collab with The Red Chord) and it's also the reason that we brewed Embrace the Chaos (our collab with the concept of "needing to bring an IPA to this fest") so if you're headed to the fest (or if you're in Philly and you happen to see us while we're out embarrassing ourselves) come say hi!
A lineup fit for metalheads!
And bringin' things a little closer to home, we got cask this week! We're bringin' back our favorite beer to tap on cask - namely Extra Naked - and we dropped in a dab of fruity ol' Belma and it's gettin' tapped on Thursday and it's gonna be completely tasty as heck and you should come have some!
This could be your weekend view
And speaking of Thursday, Thursday is Simpsons Trivia night! The theme for the month is Season Six and we're really gettin' in to the sweet spot for the show's best years, so come on out and reminisce with us and/or win some stupid Simpsons-themed prizes!
And then headin' into the weekend we've got a hella delicious lineup of eats scheduled for y'all, with HotChix and Blanche's Ice Cream in the house on Friday followed by Wild Fox Pierogi on Saturday and then BiscuitDrop bringin' brunch on Sunday and it's gonna be tasty times!
Also on Saturday we've got New Wave Yoga happening before the taproom opens (at 10:30, specifically), so if you wanna get your Vinyasa on to the sounds of some new wave, dark wave, and post punk, then come on out! And as an added bonus, the ticket price includes a beer, which means that you can use "doing something healthy" as an excuse to have breakfast and/or lunch beers, and isn't that the true meaning of exercise?

And then gettin' to some coll stuff we've got goin' on next week, on next Tuesday we've got Matt Heaton here for Surf Guitar Happy Hour and he'll be accompanied by a live drawing session from artist Dirk Tiede. If you're not really sure what that might mean (we were admittedly a little confused the first time we went to one of these), Matt will be playing a bunch of surf rock and while he's doing that (since watching somebody play guitar might not be the most scintillating activity) Dirk (who is the artist/author of the graphic novel Paradigm Shift) will set up a projector so you can watch him draw a bunch of stuff.* It's a lot of fun!
We might even be releasing a secret beer or two
And then next Thursday we're gonna be "out in the wild" for a beer dinner at Cunard Tavern! They'll be serving up a five-course meal with each course paired with one of our beers and we'll be there to hang out and/or talk about beer (and/or drink beer et cetera) and it's gonna be tasty times! And as an added bonus, it's part of their Female-Led Series, which means that Liz gets to do all the talking and (more to the point) you won't have to hear Jared go on a weird ten-minute tangent about yeast and anyway it's gonna be fun and you should come!

And the dang ol' day after that, next Friday, we're hosting an air guitar competition!** It's free to attend (with a suggested donation to help cover the registration fees with US Air Guitar***) and we strongly suggest that you check it out because these events are honestly kind of bonkers. There's a ton of stage theatrics and ridiculous costumes and merriment and judge-bribing and you'll probably get to see a bunch of people (as in, people who are here just to drink a couple beers) get very very confused about what's happening and anyway it's gonna be a huge amount of fun and we hope to see you there!
FREEBIRD!
* Full disclosure: the first time we went to one of these events, we were largely unaware of the "live drawing" component, so it was definitely peculiar to see a guy set up a screen and start drawing cowboys right next to the band.
** Specifically we'll be hosting the New England regionals, which is wild because if you look at the other regional competitions they're all being hosted at, like, real venues and then we're just rockin' out on our patio/loading dock.
*** Of COURSE there's a national organization for competitive air guitar. Why wouldn't there be?
