In Which We Get Comfy

​Well hello there! I hope you came here to hear a bunch about new merch, because we got new merch for days (and, equally importantly, we got some for them cold winter nights). We got flannels, we got lunch boxes, we got thermals (with some sweet matching glassware!), we got all* your dang ol' merch needs covered 'round here so why don't you have yourself a gander! (And by the way, since most of these were made in fairly limited quanitity, they'll be Taproom Only to start off with. And then after Thanksgiving the remaining stock will also be available in our online shop, which already has some sweet stuff in it!)

These here thermals and shaker pints are full of benevolent monster madness, and we're only doing one print run for the holiday season! 

Being based in New England, we felt a gaping hole in our merch wall without flannels hangin'. So we bought a whole bunch (50ish?) for you dudes and dudettes in all kinds of fun plaids! And they are. the. coziest. 

It's been so hard to keep these under wraps, you guys. We'd like to give a huge shoutout to longtime Friend of the Brewery: Victor "Wall of Adequacy" Prizzio for creating this badass artwork of Horatio and El Pulpo! These here lunchboxes are two sided and just so happen to hold our Big Stupid Cans perfectly. (Just sayin')

And if hella new merch weren't enough for ya, we got good times lined up all weekend!

First off, for those of you whose "weekend" starts circa midweek, we got a cask o' Mo'Biscuits comin' out the beer engine! Starting right now! Good ol' Mo has been a favorite around these parts, and it sure as heck doesn't disappoint when it's served up English-style. And for those of you who are otherwise occupied this week - never you worry, 'cuz we got another one goin' on next week!

You roasty, nutty, crisp-as-hell treat, you.

Then on Friday we got good times both on-site and off! Here at Home Base we have our friends from Formaggio Kitchen swingin' back through wit summa dat cheesy goodness! They'll be bringing a selection of cheeses and jam and honey to pair with a few of our beers, so come grab a plate and a flight from 6-10pm! A delicious time was had by all the last time we had them over for treats, so come on by and get your cheese on!

So much dairy-based goodness coming your way.

And if you're in more of a tinkerin' mood than a snackin' mood, we'll be pouring samples at Beer & Gears at the MIT Museum on Friday evening! We may be a touch light on the particulars of this particular event, but as we understand it, it's gonna be a bunch of people making Rube-Goldberg-esque machines that will then combine to form the craziest contraption of all, not unlike some sort of rickety, low-rent Voltron. And if that don't sound like fun to you, then you may well be beyond hope.

Because who doesn't love to drink and tinker?

Then on Saturday we're tappin' up a cask of Wasted Life! Just like old times! And this time around we dry hopped that bad mamma jamma with some fun fruity hops from German stock: Mandarina Bavaria and Hull Melon!

Stoked!

Also on Saturday, we're relaunchin' our off-site growler sales program at Pemberton Farms! And there's really no better way to kick something off than with beer and cheese, so we're doing a beer and cheese tasting! We'll be there slingin' samples for sippin' and cheese bits for noshin' from five 'til seven, so come on by and say hi!

And from here on out, super fresh growlers will be delivered every Wednesday!

And as an endcap to this action-packed weekend, we've got Boston Bonbon back in the house on Sunday from 12-3 with the sweet treats that can't be beat! They've concocted some fun cookie pairings for our beers like Strawberry Jelly x Bullhead, Dutch Apple x Mo'Biscuits, and Maple Bacon x Oh My! IPA! 

Did we mention that they'll be macaron-donut hybrids? They're bringing macaron-donut hybrids.

*Except footie pajamas, because those were like eighty bucks each. ​
