The Overall Highs and Occasional Lows of Running This Silly Little Brewery

9/21/2016

0 Comments

 
Well hello there! We had us a rollicking* end to one hell of a first month in business, and now we're here to yammer about it! Village Fest was - as expected - an incredible success. A whole heckin' bunch** of people came out and we made a gaggle of new friends and met a lot of thirsty people. It was a durn good event, if we do say so ourselves, and we're lookin' forward to it again next year!
The only change we would make would be to have a dedicated candy runner to make sure the outdoor bar has a steady supply of sweets.
And speaking of thirsty people: a big street festival combined with an... exuberant first few weeks means that y'all drank a couple of our lines dry! We had a temporary shortage of Wasted Life (it's back now, but that was a scary day and a half), a brief kibosh on Key Lime White (we had to squirrel away a few kegs for this week's empanada tasting, but it'll be back on for real by Saturday), and we're now entirely out of Thrasher and Ohm!*** We're sad to see those last two go, and judging from how fast those kegs kicked we should bring back Ohm as soon as we can! Although if we do, we'll need to give it a new name, as it was recently pointed out to us (quite politely, I might add) that there's a very well-respected (by us in particular) local brewer who makes a beer with a strikingly similar name. So we gon' have to call it something different**** in the future because we sure as hell ain't wanna rile up our neighbors. We like our neighbors!

Here's to the TBD IPA!
But speaking of empanadas, in case you were unaware: we're doing a beer and empanada event this Thursday 9/22! Tickets are mostly sold out, so you may wanna act quickly (although we have it on reasonably good authority that there will be a few more available at the door). It'll be a good time, and proceeds go to benefit the Everett Farmers Market! And, as an added bonus, (the sauce on the empanada, as it were), there's a shuttle running between Bone Up and Wellington Station from six until nine! Cool! Anything that spares you a modestly sketchy walk down Revere Beach Parkway is a good thing in our book.

Tickets on Eventbrite: $29

​
And! If you can't make it out on Thursday, we've got the Bone Town Burgers truck rockin' steady this Friday night at the taproom, and if you're in the Brookline area late next week, we'll be slingin' samples and growlers over at Wine Press Brookline! Come say hello!

The first of many scrumptious snacking shebangs! 
And lastly, we have some moderate bummer news. For months now, we've been planning on brewing a wet hop beer with hops from Four Star Farms. But after getting all stoked about it and telling everybody who would listen, things went awry. Basically, the weather screwed us over a little bit: they can't harvest when it's raining, and it was raining on the planned brewday. Under other circumstances, we could have rescheduled, except that a) we only have one day of the week available, and 2) harvesting takes less than a week. And we can't go with a different hop because our preferred variety is the last one to be harvested, so this was the last chance. But now's not the time to point fingers (except at the weather. Stupid jerk weather). It's a bummer, but we're pressin' on - we had a pretty cool base beer planned (a light 'n' malty ale featuring grains from Blue Ox), so we got that goin' on instead, only this time it's brewed with regular ol' dried and pelletized hops just like we usually use.

Gon' be a good beer, durn tootin'
* That's right - "rollicking." Bet it's been a while since you've seen that word outside a movie poster (most likely the movie in question would be a badly-acted screwball comedy, or perhaps something involving Mr. Bean). 
** Over six thousand, according to that carnie we talked to. 
​*** Don't you start frettin', though - we already have some delightful new beers fermentin' away to take over those lines.
**** We don't have a replacement name just yet, though you could make a fairly strong case that we never had a real name in the first place, since we just got lazy used the production shorthand for the recipe as the original moniker.
