In Which We Tune In For Labor Day Funtimes

Hi friends! It's blog time once again and we'd like to kick things off by starting with a big ol' sincere Thank You to everybody who came out to help us celebrate The Anniversary* this past weekend! It was a truly excellent time full of great music and tasty snacks and friendship and a lot more underwear getting shot out of a t-shirt cannon than we were really expecting and sweet merch and good times and, of course, beer!

We say this every year, but we're truly humbled to have met so many people who are pickin' up what we're puttin' down and who in general like to Get Weird in the same way that we do and it's just so damn heartwarming that we get to hang out with all y'all at once every now and then. This big ol' bash is really our gift to ourselves every year, but we're over the moon that y'all like to come out and join us, because we couldn't do what we do without you. So thank you for coming to our party, and thank you for continuing to support all the weird shit we do around here. It means the world to us. 

And now to take a complete left turn from all that sappy Feelings Talk, it's probably worth our while to note that the cask hiatus resumes this week on account of how it's still damn warm outside and also because we didn't think to get casks prepped until, like, three days ago (the birthday cask was an exception on both fronts, and boy was it exceptional). 

For vaguely similar reasons, it's also gonna be a quick minute before we can release a new beer on account of how we brewed All The Beers for our birthday and we don't have room in the cold rooms for new ones. But! We'll be back to our Regularly Scheduled Releases before you know it, so keep them peepers peeled! 

Anyway! Onward we march, sallying forth into the tides of fun times or whatever and the first such Fun Time is on Thursday and it's more trivia! This time around, Matt has decided to tackle South Park as the topic du jour and that's gonna be an interesting one since the show has been on for like 25 years (or maybe it just feels that way? Who even knows anymore) but the point is that it's gonna be fun as heck and you should come out! 

Then on Friday we've got Matt Heaton gracin' the stage/loading dock for a laid-back night full of surf tunes! 

Then on Sunday we're gettin' into the Labor Day spirit** and havin' a record fair! We'll have Major Wax Buildup and Hot Foot Vintage and One Round Jack and our own Light of Day records settin' up and slinging records (plus some vintage duds and maybe some other goodies) and there's gonna be a DJ to "spin" some "tunes" and also our friends from Lobzter King are gonna be here with their delicious-ass seafood dishes and also this whole event is apparently tied to a movie release which is news to me but also not relevant to the event we're having here so we can just move along on that and come have a good time on Sunday!

Then on Monday we'll be open Holiday Hours (12-8 instead of 3-11) on account of how it's a holiday. And! Next week has a lot of cool stuff, but you should still come out for all the cool stuff this week, and tune in again soon for the next roundup of cool stuff!

Oh! And! We gotta announce August's coloring contest winners! Adequate work, everyone!

* Since it's come up a few times, it's also fine to call it our birthday. I don't actually know how/why we settled on "anniversary" over "birthday" (maybe it was because we started brewing a few months before the taproom opened?) but either works. 
** I guess the true Labor Day Spirit would be unionizing, but having fun on a Sunday is a close second
