Oh Joybringer!

Well hello there! We're hunkerin' down and gearin' up for the most Festive time of year - which is obviously the birthday party for a cartoon skeleton on January 5th and you should totally come because it will be rad - but first we got some other, some would say lesser, holidays that we gotta get cheery for so here goes!

Holiday pregame

This Thursday brings about our trusty cask, right on schedule as always, and this time it's more Marimba! And just to "shake things up" a bit, the dry hop charge this time around is a personal favorite of ours - piney, citrusy Comet!

YAY

Moving right along, this Friday is the newest installment of Inferno Night! We got the wheels turnin' with our friends from Brato and basically just told them to bring whatever the heck they wanted as long as it's spicy! Spoiler alert: it will probably definitely involve some kind of sausages and also probably something that's, like, practical joke spicy and also all of it is gonna be delicious so you should come out and get your spice on!

Nashville hot melt. Carolina reaper sausage. Duck fat Buffalo wings. Hopefully a minimum of heartburn.

And for all you wait-until-the-last-minute holiday shoppers out there, this Saturday we're throwin' a Last-Minute X-Mas Party! And in the true spirit of the season, we're completely slapping something together last minute and trying desperately to make it look like it's not totally half-assed.

Christmassy things!

The taproom will be decked out in Christmas decorations that you're pretty sure we got from Home Depot, possibly that morning. Underneath our tree, you'll find a bunch of presents that appear painstakingly-wrapped from a distance, but which bear a strikingly similar resemblance to the TV remote and the spare air filters for our heater; they'll be placed just so in order to hide the giant wads of tape which actually hold them together (and which, in turn, belie the fact that we don't actually know how to wrap presents. We might even add some gift bags brimming with still-folded tissue paper to complete the "this was wrapped by a dude" visual effect). And yes, they'll have Christmassy nonsense on the To/From tags, but it'll be vague enough that we can guarantee nobody dares open them, and even then we'll probably screw up the To/From placement so it'll say something like "From: You Know Who, To: Santa." 

As an added treat, we might even serve Jared's "Family Recipe" eggnog which is made by the painstaking process of buying eggnog from the store* and pouring it into a glass. And to serve with that special yuletime treat? You guessed it, a Festive Holiday Platter overflowing with all the brightly-colored cookies that were the only thing left at Costco because nobody else wanted them. (And also we'll have beer and candy pairings because that's the sort of thing we like to do around here.)

But when we get to drinks you'll see where our priorities truly lie, because we will be stocked up on the giggle juice. We'll have Biere de Krampus on tap if you want a fast-track to some holiday cheer, and we'll have eight different bottles both for here or to go, thereby ensuring you can be The Most Thoughtful Gift-Giver whilst never having to leave the bar. And what, praytell, will be bringing our bottle count up to eight? You guessed it, Joybringer and it's barrel-aged sibling** Joyrider will be available in bottles starting on Saturday!

And if all that weren't enough, we're offering a discount on all (non-alcohol) merch all dang day! So if you missed your chance to stuff some stockings, come on out and get the goods!

​Oh! And speaking of Joybringer, it's on tap right friggin' now! Come drink some and get festive with us!

* If you don't count that as "painstaking" then you've clearly never been to the grocery store right before Christmas. 
** Cousin? We're oddly uninformed on how barrel-aging fits into beer genealogy. ​
