In Which We Get Our Purple Drink On

Howdy friends! We've got a whole heckin' bunch of cool stuff lined up for y'all this week and we'll be gettin' to that in due time, but first we'd like to give a quick shoutout/thanks to our new friends from Scattered Remnants for comin' out to the release of Scatterbräu! We always get jazzed when bands come hang out for beer releases, and it was hella fun hanging out with them!

Anyway, on to buisness. First and/or foremost we gots to mention that we are closing early (at 5PM) this Sunday for a staff meeting.*

And speaking of meetings, we're tappin' up a cask this week! Yes indeedy, on Thursday we've got tried-and-true cask favorite Shut Up Kelly goin' on the ol' beer engine and pourin' until she kicks! 

And it might be the last Kelly cask for a little while... we don't exactly brew this beer often during the warm months. Just sayin'

And dang but if that ain't the most of it on the beer front, on account of how this is the first week in a dang ol' while that we don't have a new beer release!

Oh wait no oh crap that's right! I totally forgot! This week (specifically Friday, though it'll probably be on draft at some point on Thursday) marks the glorious return of Henrietta to the beer menu! Our beloved spring/summer seasonal - a farmhouse brewed with, just, so much hibiscus - is gonna be on tap and in cans and you should come drink some! ​

Colloquially known amongst the staff as "yelling juice"

And movin' right on along to all the fun times we've got to pair with those tasty beers, this Thursday we've got a Very Special trivia night! More to the point, this week's trivia is themed around It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and we've got some cool** prizes for the winners and it's gonna be a buncha fun and you should come hang out!

And speaking of new-to-us fun times in the taproom, this Friday we're hosting our first-ever comedy show! We've got Al Ghanekar and friends settin' up in the side room and it's gonna be a barrel o' laughs so if you wanna get your giggle on, grab a ticket and come out! 

And movin' further into the weekend, we've got tasty food! More to the point, we've got HotChix in the house on Saturday and they'll be cookin' up some of their delicious chicken sandwiches until they run out, so come grab one! ​

And then on Sunday we've got yet another new-to-us event goin' on in the taproom and this one's coffee themed! We've got our friends from Triple Crown and Aero Coffee Roasters comin' through and settin' up shop and probably pouring some samples and/or steaming mugs o' joe and also we'll have BiscuitDrop in the house with their delicious-ass biscuit-themed brunchables and it's really just gonna be a great way to spend a Sunday!

Have we mentioned that Biscuitdrop is the best? Biscuitdrop is the best.

And since we're talking about great things to do on Sunday, this Sunday is another installment in our biweekly Barks & Brews Pint Parties! Long story short, we're encouraging you to bring your four-legged friends out to the beer garden on Sundays (and Tuesdays, which will also feature ice cream starting in May) and we'll be donating part of the day's beer sales to a dog-related charitable cause and anyway it's drinking in the beer garden for a good cause, so come on out!

Good bebe

And while we're talkin' about fun times, we might as well talk about some future fun times and the first such fun time is Band Hangouts! You probably already know the deal if you've looked at our blog more than once (since we've been shouting about this for like a month), but the deal is that on Friday, April 29th we're bringin' in a buncha people from some rad local bands (this time it's Worshipper and Z28 and Conclave and North Star the Wanderer) and they're gonna hang out and sell some merch and we'll play their music on the stereo and also we're releasing a beer that's a collab with one of the bands (though we're keeping those details mostly under our hats for now) and anyway it's gonna be fun!

Beer details next week, promise!

And even farther into the future - May 5-7, to be precise - we're experimentin' with a series of events that we're callin' Dungeons & Drinks! Long story short, we're doin' up three days' worth of geek-themed good times - there's gonna be Star Wars trivia (on Thursday) and retro video games and collectibles (on Friday) and a D&D one-off and a buncha comic artists setting up merch tables (on Saturday) and also we'll have beer (duh) and some tasty food vendors and it's gonna be a damn good time and you should come check it out!

* We already use "meeting" to mean "drinking" because that's what most of our meetings are about, but oh man is this gonna be one intense meeting.
