Hi, kiddos and squiddos! It's story time once again time and we're fixin' to get our ramble on!
And since it's not even a dang month away, the first order o' business 'round these here parts is to remind you about our birthday party! Full details are here but the gist is that we're ropin' off part of the parking lot and havin' a pig roast and hosting one of our all-time favorite bands and there'll be ice cream and hot sauce and new beers and good times for all! The main events (tunes, pork) will get goin' around three, but things'll be rockin' and rollin' from open 'til close (and, as always, we suggest gettin' in a bit ahead of time*).

And speaking of future times, it behooves us to let you know that we'll be closin' up shop a wee bit early (sevenish) on Sunday August 13th - one of our first-ever employees is movin' away and we can't let him do that without receiving a proper sendoff first, so we're lockin' up while the sun's still up so's we can do whatever it is brewers do behind closed doors (drink tea and talk about our feelings).
But bringin' the focus back to the nearer future, we've got one heckuva weekend lined up for y'all! This Thursday we're debuting a cask of our dangerously drinkable hundredth batch (which, as you'll recall, is creatively titled "100")! And since the entire ethos of the beer is to use our favorite ingredients, we crammed that sucker fulla Mass-grown Magnum!**

And as a perfect pairing for a smooth-sippin' nigh-on eight percent beer, Thursday also marks the third installment of our monthly music-themed trivia night: Audio Triviality! So if you like beer and/or trivia and/or music and/or references to cartoons that aired twenty plus years ago, you should come on by! Trivia starts at eightish (heavy on the "ish") and runs for about an hour and a half.
And, this Thursday is also the first go-round of our new weekly food series (which will last for the whole month of August) - Sillari's Test Kitchen: Bar Bites Edition! In order to ease into this new and unfamiliar terrain, we're startin' slow by offerin' up Fancy Pizza - it's like the pizza we normally sell on Thursdays, only this time it's cravat-and-monocle fancy!
Then on Friday we're bravin' the wild wilderness of Belmont to bring y'all another growler popup at CBC! We'll be there from five 'til seven with tasty brews for those of you who don't find your bad selves out Everett way all too often!
And on Saturday we've got another cask dry hopped with Mass Magnum, but this time around it's old standby Wasted Life! We like to think the German-pedigreed hop will bring a touch of nobility to our otherwise rough 'n' tumble IPA, but we'll have to wait 'til Saturday to see!
Speaking of weekends (not really), we've got merch news! Firstly, since we somehow forgot to mention this for a few weeks: we've got tank tops! They're hella comfy and twice as stylish*** - and we got them just in time for summer to be over!
And in other merch news that's either a bummer or kind of exciting (depending on your stance), we've been forced to discontinue our Men's Horatio shirts in red because the manufacturer doesn't make them anymore. We did a bunch of huntin' around, but the other supplier we like doesn't make shirts in a red that we're fond of (it's basically pink). So anyway, we've got some brand spankin' new green shirts on the way, but if you're a fan of the red ones and you've been on the fence about buying one for some reason, we suggest you get on that bidness! (Also of note: we'll still have men's shirts in dark gray, but they'll end up getting a little bit darker, if that sort of thing matters to you).
And! Lastly! We gotta tell you who won July's coloring contest! It was Victor! Again! And also four other people! Anyway, come on in and claim your swag if you see your art below!

We didn't have much of a choice, Victor.

* We don't entirely know what to expect (as we've never had a first birthday before) but even on normal-ass days we tend to get a bit crowded right around two or three (though the added space in the parking lot will help with capacity to some extent).
