Hello again, friends! We're still shakin' off the last remnants of the ol' Annual Turkey Coma, but we've got a bursting-at-the-seams bottle fridge (with, somehow, unbelievably, more bottle releases on the way in the relatively near future) and a buncha cool popups and events to help ease us back into reality (or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof) and anyway let's get on with it!
SO. MANY. BOTTLES.
First on up, we have the triumphant return of something that almost* nobody's been asking for and that's cask! And this week's cask is a bit of a special somethin' in that this cask is the only time you'll see this particular beer available in our taproom. Well, sort of, anyway. See, our wild fermentation beers (Critters et al.) start out as "normal" beers and every so often we brew something for the sole purpose of gettin' funkified (as opposed to taking an existing beer and cramming it full of Brett, which also happens). Anyway, this particular base beer is a straightforward number with a strong focus on a grain we wanted to get to know a little bit better (specifically Nor'east Gold from Stone Path), so we filled a cask and threw in a handful of one of our favorite hops (namely galena) and it's on tap on Thursday and you should come drink some with us!
(And gaze upon our wonderfully festive taproom while you're here)
And speaking of Thursday, this Thursday is Audio Triviality night! We probably should have mentioned this last week, but we were a bit caught up making jokes about gravy or whatever. Anyway, this month's theme is Satan Claws Comes to Town and it is - as you might expect - Christmas and/or holiday themed!

Aaaand moving right on further along into the weekend we're kickin' things off strong with the triumphant return of HotChix on Friday! They'll be settin' up shop at six and, if previous visits are any indication (and they might not be, they haven't been here since The Before Times), we'd recommend you get in line early to guarantee yourself some sandwich action!
SOON
Then on Saturday we're probably definitely gonna be releasing a super secret can-only beer, but that's really all we can say right now so we'll just move right along to gettin' all giddy about the start of the Holiday Market Series! We're bringin' in local artisans/vendors/whathaveyou all month long (and more often than not we're bringin' in some eats as well) so's you can Shop Local This Holiday Season and anyway the first one is on Saturday and this time around we're bringin' in PolkaDog Bakery! They'll be here from 12-4 with a whole buncha fancy (and, if you're willing to take our dogs' word for it, extremely tasty) dog treats! And if you happen to be peckish on Saturday afternoon we've got new-to-us Kuya's Cooking serving Filipino food from 2-6 and we can't wait to try it!
Definitely better than a Wal-Mart gift card, just sayin'
And moving on to Sunday we're keepin' that Holiday Market train rolling with art from Adam Cutler! You've probably definitely seen his work hanging in our taproom (he designed the Audio Triviality poster and also we've just got a bunch of his stuff up on the walls) and he'll be hangin' out from 12-4! And (on a largely unrelated note) if you wanna learn how to make sushi after you check out some cool art, Chef Harold is back on Sunday for another sushi class!

And since we're in the throes of Holiday Fever it behooves us to drop a little teaser about our upcoming made-up holiday: Horatio Day! Long story short (for those of you not "in the know"), on the weekend of January 7th-9th we'll throwing a birthday party for Horatio, our dapper little logo dude! We'll be tapping a bunch of barrel-aged and/or strong beers (in addition to our already-rad menu) and maybe cracking a bottle or two that we've had squirreled away and we'll probably release a new beer or two on top of all that and there's special merch and a Horatio lookalike contest that usually just results in people being creeped out** by the sight of Jared in skeleton makeup and there's tasty food and probably cake and the point is that it's a damn good time and you should come hang out with us! And if you're the "likes cool glassware" type, we figured we'd "sweeten the deal" by makin' sure you can get your mitts on one of the sweet-ass goblets that we worked up, which is to say we're gonna be starting preorders this Friday! Woo!
2022 brings the glorious return of gold-rimmed goblets
Oh! And! Lastly! We've declared our winner(s) for November's coloring contest! Adequate work, everybody!
