Hello again! We hope you're doing well. It's once again Blog O'Clock and as you all know that means we're gearin' up to get down for good times galore, and we sure do hope you'll join us!
And first on up is this rad shoutout we* got in The Globe! Come to think of it, this may well be the first time in our sevenish years that The Globe has ever noticed us (except for maybe that covid scare in 2020? Unsure about that one) but we're not gonna dwell on that because it's still pretty cool and also that event was fun as hell!

Anyway, movin' right on to the real deal reason for the season to get out what this blog is all about we've got one or more new beers to announce! First up is Synhoptikon which is a tasty-ass West Coast (ish) IPA that - you guessed it - we brewed for our upcoming anniversary (it's next month! Technically!) and this one here was brewed in collaboration with a newcomer to our lil' ol' party: Major Stars! We actually discovered these cats at our Oktoberfuzz event last year, which was booked by the folks from Somergloom (which incidentally will be partly hosted here this year), only to find out that several of the band members have been frequenting our taproom for quite some time and while it is honestly kind of weird to see a new-to-you band and realize that you know half the people on stage, their music just so happens to be rad as hell (which is why they were invited to the anniversary) and anyway the beer is available on draft and in cans right now and you should drink some!
And speaking of new beer, we've got another new beer! This one's another anniversary beer and it's this year's beer for The Guilloteenagers! This time aroiund we made them a dry stout that's creatively titled This Is A Guilloteenagers Beer (they win this year's award for Largest Number of Unusable Beer Names) and man is that beer definitely not Blood Built. More to the point, it is completely tasty as hell and it's the perfect beach beer even if nobody belives me (dark beer doesn't get light struck, it gets better as it warms, and it's low enough ABV that you won't get too tipsy and pass out in the sun) and it's available in cans right now so come get some!
And then movin' to the fun times we've got lined up for the week (and beyond!) we're kickin' things off on Thursday with some Warped Tour Throwback Trivia! So if you wanna relive the good ol' days (JNCOs optional but encouraged) and maybe win some stupid prizes while you're at it, come on out!
And then on Friday we've got more live music! This one's another solo acoustic set - specifically the likes of T. Bloodhound - so it's gonna be pretty low-key but also you know that we're still meticulous about making sure we're bringin' in the kinds of artists that y'all will enjoy** which means it's gonna be a fun time and you should come hang!
And speaking of music-themed events, we've got several music-themed events on Saturday! The day starts off early with Riot Grrl Yoga with Crystal and then in the afternoon we've got a bunch of live music featuring The Chelsea Curve, Duck and Cover, and Stars Like Ours! PLUS we've got Craic Mac & Cheese poppin' up here for the first time (unless it isn't? It probably is) and anyway that all means you've got no reason not to swing by on Saturday, so swing by on Saturday!

Then next Thursday we've got July's Simpsons Trivia and the theme is Season Six! Honestly, we'll take any excuse we can to revisit S6 of The Simpsons and we might even break our own "no studying" rule to do so! Then next Friday we've got even more live music and this time it's pop punk themed with Another One Down and Kid Disaster! And lastly next Saturday we're kinda goin' in the other direction with the music stuff and that's the Musician's Marketplace! We're gonna have a buncha vendors swing by - namely Nomad Cabinets and Falconer Guitars and CopperSound Pedals and Electronic Audio Experiments and Fuzzrocious Pedals - and they'll all have a buncha stuff for you to try and/or buy and it was a hella good time last time we did something like this (at least one impromptu jam session started itself) so come play some tunes with us!
Oh! And! Lastly! We've got the winners of June's coloring contest! June had some extremely adequate work from pretty much everybody who submitted, which made it an extra-hard month to decide, but decide we did and here's the winner and the runners-up!
* Well, it's mostly USAG getting the shoutout, but it's still cool!
** Usually when we see one dude with an acoustic guitar we assume he's gonna be playing, like, renditions of DMB songs (or whatever radio rock was popular when he was in high school) that are somehow worse than the originals. Usually we're right, but that's not how we do things around here.
