In Which We Ride the Fabled Kegasus

Well hello there!

First on up, which is to say right about right now, is the long-awaited* release of our newest wild beer (which is to say, our newest Spawn Of Critters), and that's Kegasus! Kegasus is a blend of several different beers of varying vintages, and it manages to be an alluring array of contradictions: it seems sweet, yet it's bone dry; it's not shy with the funk, but it's very approachable; it's light on the palate, yet mysteriously dark and brooding. Anyway, we feel like we're really hittin' our stride on the ol' funky beers, so this is one we're pretty durn proud of and now we've got it in bottles and on tap and you should come try it!

Oh, and speaking of beer in bottles, last week saw the rerelease of an old favorite: Rebello Fellow! And it's available in bottles right now and on tap in the near future! We originally brewed this to celebrate the US citizenship of a Friend Of The Brewery (namely Victor), but we liked it a whole bunch and decided to re-brew it as our 400th batch! But then scheduling got in the way of that specific brewday, so not unlike the forgetful boyfriend who declares that February 15th is "our Valentine's day," we brewed it a bit (okay, a lot) later as a belated celebration of a milestone that pretty much nobody other than us cares about! Anyway it's delicious and it has never been the source of any bad decisions in the past and you should drink some. )

And speaking of Friends Of The Brewery, we brewed up yet another beer for Bubs' house! See, Bubs lives in the historical Hartshorne House in Wakefield, and for the past several years we've been a part of fundraiser events there where we brew up a special beer and then serve it at the house and we stand in front of groups of people and awkwardly stammer about our brewery and also there's some pretty friggin' cool history talks by people who are not us (including but not limited to a different Friend Of The Brewery, namely Malcolm, who is our Enthusiastic History Friend) and anyway we're not able** to do an in-person event this year so we're doing a virtual tasting*** and it's for a good cause (the house, in case you've forgotten) and you should join us!

Oh, and the beer we brewed for this event is going to be available at the brewery starting on Friday and it's an all-local pale ale called History Mysteries and we honestly kind of stretched the whole "historically inspired" concept that we usually go for with these events (and, to be honest, we weren't starting from a strong foundation of historical fact anyway) but that's neither here nor there because the beer is tasty and that's what's important!

And. Lastly. Since we're on about bringing back old favorites (or at least we were a few paragraphs ago), we're bringin' back another old favorite! Thassright, Ginger Spectacular is gonna be back in cans starting on Friday! You've already come to know and love (and possibly fear) this beer, and now it's back and you should come have some!

* Or at least it would have been long-awaited if we'd ever told y'all about it previously, instead of vaguely alluding to it at the end of a blog post several weeks back. 
** As you might imagine, the average age of people in the local historical society is loosely what you would call "not young." You get the distinct impression that for many of these people it's less "learning about the past" and instead much closer to "nostalgia."
*** Remember those? From the spring? Those things we got all jazzed about for like two months until we all abruptly stopped talking about them forever?
