In Which We Hit the Road

Hello, friend. We've been expecting you. More to the point, we've got a full lineup this week and we expect you gon' enjoy, so read on!

First up on the ol' Taste Radar, we've got the (very brief) return of a not-so-old favorite: Smaltster! Long story short, we had some set aside for a recent Village-themed festival of some sort but there's still some left and now you get to drink it with us! Party!

And speaking of parties(?), this week's trusty weekly cask on is relatively-new-to-us Ganymede! And since we're all about alliteration around here, we jammed that sucker fulla glacier before lettin' it do its thing and become - dare I say it? - even tastier. If you wanna taste the sweet, sweet fruits of our collective labors, come on out on Thursday and get to tastin'!

Also on Thursday we're doin' up another newish-to-us trivia and this one here is Back to School themed! So if you've finally gotten over all those recurring nightmares about being late for class and you want a bit of a "refresher" come on out and get trivial!

Then on Friday we're venturin' out into the big wide world for Tavern Night with the Dedham Historical Society! In short, that means we're doin' it up mini-fest style at a museum, and said museum is gonna be pullin' out a buncha historical tavern signs for our viewing pleasure (which sounds pretty rad, honestly), and also there's probably music and food? Anyway, it sounded like a good time to us, so you should probably join us!

Then on Saturday we got a hella busy day planned, and we're startin' it out the only(?) way we know how: with flower arranging! Thassright, Alice's Table is comin' out and teachin' up a storm about fall-themed flower arranging! Tickets are still available (and include a beer!), grab 'em here: Hues and Brews

Movin' on to the tasty times on Saturday, we've got our friends from El Pelon with some tasty Mexican grub startin' at two! We've admittedly got a bit of a soft spot for these guys, but that's mostly because their food is delicious and you should probably come eat some!

Also on Saturday, we've got a record (for us) number of offsite events we'll be reppin' at, should you be "out in the wild" on that particular day:

We'll be pourin' our yet-to-be-released collab beer (that we made with Saltbox Kitchen) - a tasty lil' saison made with local honey and locally-grown melons - at the Great Mass Collab out in Worcester!

We'll also be pourin' at the Cape Cod Brew Fest down on the Cape! These folks know how to throw a good fest, so you should definitely check it out if you're of a more southerly persuasion.

And. AND. We (somehow) got invited to be a part of the collab-brew-slash-brewfest that Smuttynose is hosting for their 25th anniversary, which means we'll be at their digs brewin' beer and slingin' beer all day! This is honestly a pretty big honor for us - we've been drinkin' Smutty since we were knee-high and we're completely stoked as heck* that they wanted us to be a part of this day!

* And maybe a little confused, but mostly stoked.
