Well hello! It's time again for us to help you beat the heat with some treats to eat and good taste for your mouth!
First and/or foremost, this Thursday marks the release date of our hundredth batch! And rather than going for some high-concept, too-clever-for-our-own-good kind of nonsense (which, if we're being honest, is almost definitely what we would have done if we were better at planning ahead), we piled up a bunch of our favorite ingredients and threw those in! In this case, that means Maine-grown malt from Blue Ox, a heapin' helpin' o' hops from Four Star Farms, and a buncha house-made candi syrup to give that dry finish that we're oh-so-fond of!

And to celebrate this modestly auspicious occasion, we're doing the same thing we always do on Thursdays! There's gonna be pizza from Sillari's and a cask of Extra Naked (dry hopped with Green Machine)!
Then on Friday we've got Sillari's slingin' sausage! They'll be settin' up shop and sellin' house-made Italian sausages with pickled veggies from five 'til ten!
And on Saturday we've got SoKrispee back in the taproom with some sweets (protip: we found out that Krispee treats make a pretty incredible ice cream sandwich, but you gotta provide your own ice cream)! And as a definitely-not-coincidental beer pairing, we went and threw a bunch of peachy smellin' Idaho 7 into a cask of Extra Naked and that's goin' on tap right at noon!
And for those of you who like to look a little farther into the future, some real bona fide plans are falling into place for our birthday bash and it is shaping up to be one helluva day! There'll be fancy beers and outdoor drinkin' and grilled meats and ice cream and we've got some Instro-tainment lined up for your listenin' pleasure! Check out what we've planned for you wonderful people (and our own entertainment):
SPECIAL BEER RELEASES // ALL DAY
Jollybringer // Joybringer Tripel, aged in SPD Triple Sec barrels
Beer of Truth // Strong Ale cellared for six months
Fermento-Tainment! // Weisstronauts-inspired bitter
(plus whatever the hell else we happen to have on draft)

SNACKS // 12-6 PM
Alex's Ugly Sauce, Fat Boyfriend Bakery, and Top Shelf Cookies!
To keep your noshin' muscles busy while we're waitin' for the main course, Alex from Alex's Ugly Sauce will be tingling your tastebuds with hot sauce flights to celebrate all the folks that have donated to Hot Sauce Nation over the last year!
We've also convinced the wonderful people behind Fat Boyfriend Bakery to make us beer-infused ice cream! We'll be slingin' ice cream sandwiches made to order with Top Shelf Cookies! Exact flavors are TBD, but you know they'll be delicious!

PIG ROAST // 3-6 PM
We're puttin' on our version of a Southern BBQ! Sillari's Pizza will be roasting two pigs onsite, served with made-from-scratch BBQ and hot sauce (made from our beer, duh). Sides will include baked beans, garden salad, and street corn. The pig should be ready around 3pm and we'll be slingin' meats until we run out!

LIVE MUSIC // 5-7 PM
The Weisstronauts are one of our favorite local bands! Their music is upbeat and quirky and makes us smile (if you're not familiar with them, they're kinda tough to describe - think surf/psychedelic instrumental rock)... perfect for an end of summer sendoff! We'll even be brewing a special beer to pair with their new album!* They'll be playing two sets starting around 5pm.

We're taking over the parking lot and will have outdoor pouring stations and standing areas in addition to regular taproom service, so there will be plenty of room for all (outdoor areas will be friendly to those on leashes and/or in diapers)! We're workin' on some other fun surprises and goodies for you guys - you've all been so supportive, enthusiastic, and wonderfully weird this past year and we want to throw you the best party ever!

*We've paired their music with our beer before, and we think it'll be fun to reverse the exercise! Whether or not they will agree with our decisions remains to be seen...
