In Which We Get Extra Funky!

Good evening! Or whatever. We're pleased as punch to be pourin' a bunch of spooktacular beers (including one or several new beers) and hosting hella fun times, so check out all the spooktacular stuff what we got goin' on!

And first up isn't quite a new beer but it's a limited-time-this-week-only beer and that of course is cask! This week we're returning to a spooktacular old favorite (Extra Naked) and we dry hopped the crap out of it with a different old favorite (spooktacularly pineappley ol' BRU-1) which adds a damn fine punch of fruitiness to ol' XN and we daresay you'll enjoy it! It's gettin' tapped Thursday and pouring until it kicks - and this is gonna be the last cask for a little while (we haven't brewed anything caskable in a couple weeks) so enjoy it while you can!

And speaking of putting a spooktacular twist on Extra Naked, we should probably introduce you to Extra Funky! It's a fully-Brett-fermented* version of the best damn beer we make (Extra Naked) and it adds a fistful of funk and a whole buncha fruity tartness to brighten things up and it's mighty delightful and it also happens to be on tap right now (it'll be in bottles soon) so come grab a glass!

And while we're talking about spooktacular things that will be available soon it's worth mentioning that we've got a new IPA waiting in the wings called The Blurst of Times! The spooktacular story behind this one is that we needed an IPA for draft so we brewed one (not everything has to be a lengthy personal anecdote, you know) and anyway it's gonna get tapped as soon as a line opens up (lookin' at you RPM) so keep them eyes peeled!

And moving on to the "spooktacular fun times" portion of this week's blog, we've got some fun times lined up for y'all! On Saturday we've got our spooktacular Ghastly Gala Art Market! We'll have Shoe Bones Gallery and Constant Disappointment Records and Motionless Visions comin' by and slingin' a buncha art and/or wares (and/or music, but that probably counts as "wares") and we've got Craig Mac 'n Cheese poppin' up with some cheesy goodness for y'all and it's gonna be a good time, so come on out and hang out with us and our cool art friends!

And on Sunday we've got our regularly-scheduled (spooktacular) sushi class with Chef Harold and I totally dropped the ball on that last week because last week it was "Cooking with Korean Flavors" and the food from that was also spectacular (as one might expect) and I think that one's coming back around 11/5, so check it out if that one "suits your fancy!" (this week is definitely sushi though, I checked)

And then next week we've also got a buncha spooktacular stuff we're doin', so check it out! Next Wednesday we've got a Wire Tree Workshop (and the event is "bring your own rock" but we'll look the other way if you need to smouch one from our rock pile) and then next Thursday we've got Tim Burton Trivia and then next Friday starts our weekend full of spooktacular Beer and Halloween Candy pairings and then next Saturday is chock full of the spooktacular times with Halloween Yoga in the morning followed by our much anticipated (by us) dog costume contest and anyway you know it's gonna be a great time, so come hang out with us! ​

* Specifically Brett C. Most of our wild beers undergo a secondary fermentation with Brett B (with some other fermentables added to get things going) after being fermented with our "normal" yeast. Brett C is known for being fruitier but less funky than the other Brett species, but that's definitely not what we're seeing from using it for primary fermentation.
