Dang on a thang y'all, it has been a week around here. One for the ages, as they say. A non-stop action-packed thrill ride. Got us a big ol' bag of eventfulness. A real Texas Shimmy. Just a good old fashioned horn burner. Anyway, it was a busy week and we're going to tell you about it.
Breweries, they grow up so fast.
First on that list o' fun times this week: we got our new tanks! Finally! We went through enough delays and pushbacks and schedule changes that y'all were probably wondering if we had made up* them tanks, but they're in place and they look fabulous! We still gotta fit up some fittings and get some wiring wired before they're Fully Operational, but the time is dang near nigh!
A huge shoutout to our delivery guy Chris, who helped us unload them tanks without shedding a single tear.
The same can be said for our cellar and sales staff - Ben, Taylor, and Amanda! And thank you to our pals at Short Path for lending us their forklift on zero notice, and to Joe from CrossFit for his superhuman strength!
Aren't they beautiful?
And a Jimbo for scale, just like last time.
And then the day after we got those beauties in (because good timing ain't exactly our speciality around here), we met up with our Booze Friends down at GrandTen Distilling in Southie** and whipped up some Friendship Whiskey! It ain't gon' be ready for a ways yet (as in years), but that stuff is pretty much made of good vibes, so we know you gon' enjoy!
Kevin and Cassidy (and Matt, who was taking the picture) were the Best of Hosts!
Mash rakes! What luxury!
We even came up with a tentative label design!
I hope our yeast has fun at Whiskey Camp!
And what's the best way to celebrate a week like that? A cask of friggin' Lawn Chair, that's what. Thassright, we got that light 'n' bright goodness comin' atcha out the beer engine startin' on Thursday and goin' 'til Jimbo drinks it all!
She accepts this delicious challenge.
And what of Lawn Chair, you ask? Right. We forgot to tell you about Lawn Chair. Well, it's our new Session Saison that snuck onto the menu just a few short days ago, which means it's on tap now, which means you can have your Lawn Chair any dang way you please!***
And if you ain't in a particularly sessiony mood, we've got some news for you's that is one thousand percent apropos: the return of Loretta! It's a tart 'n' sassy number that just so happens to be purple as the dickens and on tap now!

And we got a slew of scrumptious eats lined up to pair with these delicious new beers! On Friday night, the delicious fried empanadas from Matilda's Turnovers will be poppin' up in the taproom for your snacking pleasure. There will be pork! There will be cheese! There will be veggies! There will be Nutella!
Gooey, beefy, cheesy victory. It can be yours!
And if you're a bit farther out this Friday - say, somewhere in the Northampton area - come on by to Provisions and say hi to Jimbo and Jared! They'll be pouring Lawn Chair, Key Lime, Wasted Life, and Springtime Lies and rambling about beer between the hours of 4:30 and 7:30!
It will be a smashing good time!
And if you're the "active" type, we're hosting our first 5K on Saturday! It'll be a fun, chill run along the Northern Strand Community Trail, which starts about a block from the brewery! $20 gets you a guided run and a flight at the end, so sign up here if that's your thing!
And if (not unlike Jared) you're more of a snackin' type than an active type, we have got some hell of tasty snacks comin' your way in the afternoon on Saturday! New-to-us Wood and Fire, who hail from Melrose, are comin' along and bringin' it strong!
And as if we didn't have enough madness going on this weekend, we're bringin' back the Girl Scout cookie pairing this Sunday for those of you who missed it the first time (or who want to day drink with you mom, I ain't judgin'). Come on out, build a beer flight, and we'll pair it up with all the best cookies!
You deserve to end your weekend on a sweet note.
* Or at least you would have been if that weren't par for the course with everything around here always all the time.
** If you haven't made it to their onsite bar, you 100000% should. There's booze and a dog and shuffleboard and shuffleboard bowling and foosball!
*** Assuming, of course, that you want it one of the two ways we offer it.
