In Which We Go On and On

Well hello again! It just so happens we've got a whole mess of cool stuff lined up for y'all, so buckle up!

And this week's good times train starts off the way lots of good times do, and that's with new beer! Or, rather, the (slightly* revamped) rerelease of an old favorite! Anyway the point is that we once again brewed up our collaboration beer with Thomson Country Club: Out of Bounds! This lil' ol' west-coast-inspired IPA is the perfect treat after a day on the links, chippin' putts and drivin' bogeys, or whatever it is you do out on the ol' "gridiron" and most of this beer goes to get tapped at their clubhouse but we like it enough that we keep a little for ourselves and it's on tap right now and you should come have some!

Sadly, the City of Everett did not want us setting up a mini golf competition in the parking lot as part of the release party for this beer

And speaking of new/old beers, we've got another rerelease comin' atcha and that's On-On! We first brewed this beer a couple years ago because Ben is in a running club and they have some kind of running-themed event** at about this time every year, which had to get postponed for the past couple years. But anyway now that events are a thing again, so is this beer! It's nice 'n light and kinda hoppy and it's quite nice before/during/after a run and it'll be in cans on Friday!

Hop to it!

And. AND. In addition to all those "reboots" of beers past, we've got a NEW new beer comin' out! You've heard us talk about this one a time or two already because it's a collab that we're completely jazzed about and that's Scatterbräu! This tasty lil' amber is our collab with the old-school brutal death metal band Scattered Remnants and it's tasty as heck and it's on tap and in cans on Friday and you should come drink some with us!

And since we're already talkin' about beer, we should probably mention this week's cask! This time around we took new(ish)-to-us taproom favorite*** Le Triumph and crammed it fulla super-fruity new-to-us Vista (the hop, not the outdated/underrated operating system) and we're tappin' that sucker up on Thursday and it's gonna be hella tasty so come have some!

And in case the cask doesn't entice you enough, we're also doin' our monthly Simpsons Trivia on Thursday and the theme this month is Season Four which is pretty rad because we're now getting into some of the best television that has ever been televised and we're pretty stoked to relive it in trivia form! 

And we're keepin' that Fun Times Train rollin' on Friday with the return of Wicked Retro Night! We'll have a buncha consoles set up featuring all the best games from the Good Old Days (and they'll be set to free play mode to boot) and also Matilda's will be servin' up pastelitos all night and anyway it's gonna be a whole buncha fun! 

And speaking of good times and/or good tastes, on Saturday we've got our friends from Just Wingin' It comin' by and slingin' wings and chicken sandwiches and a buncha other tasty treats and you should come on out and say hi!

And then of course on Sunday we're back to having our regularly scheduled sushi class in the house (we also host them on most Wednesdays if you're looking for a day that's a little less crowded) and those continue to be a delight, so we strongly recommend checking them out before it gets too hot to be in a crowded room full of raw fish!

Come do the thing!

Oh! And! Speaking of Sunday, this Sunday we're startin' up a recurring fundraiser in the beer garden and we're callin' it Barks and Brews! On Sundays and Tuesdays we're encouraging you to come out and bring your four-legged friends to the beer garden and we'll be donating a portion of our sales to a different rescue every month! For April we'll be raising money for Northeast Animal Shelter up in Salem, which is a great organization and also just so happens to be where we ("we" as in Liz and Jared) got our hot-dog-stealing goblin dog Rocky and anyway come on out and grab a beer for a good cause!

And movin' a little farther into the future, next Thursday (the 21st) we've got a new-to-us theme for trivia and that's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia! And while it turned out to be impractical for us to add milk steak to the taproom menu for the night, it's still gonna be a ton of fun, so grab yourself some pocket sausages and come hang out!

And lastly, we'd be remiss if we didn't drop yet another mention for the Band Hangouts event that we're having at the end of the month (Friday the 29th, to be precise)! We'll be bringin' in a buncha rad local bands - Conclave and North Star the Wanderer and Worshipper and Z28 - and we'll be playin' their tunes over the stereo and they'll hang out and sling merch and we'll be releasing a special beer and anyway if you want to hang out with a bunch of cool bands, this is your chance!

More band beers all the time!

* As is the case with most recipe changes, we had to swap out one of the hops due to "seasonal crop changes," which is our marketing-friendly way of saying that "we don't have that hop anymore"
** Even typing out that phrase makes my legs hurt
*** As in, we're already almost out of it. Somehow. ​
