The holidays are a busy time and our schedule fills up quickly. We have some great things happening coming up that we figured we should share with you!
Thursday, November 16 – Can Release – Doors at 4pm
We are gearing up for our own holiday gatherings and we need to bring beer. You probably do as well! So, we are releasing our English Bitter (perfect for a crowd and multiple beers), South African Pilsner (perfect for the gotta have hops crowd and also a donation beer, as in a portion of proceeds will be donated to Beer Is Art again) and also, finally, some “year-round” beers; Blonde, IPA and Porter. Yes, you read that right, Porter, in cans and soon on draft again.
Saturday, November 18 – Miz Diamond Wigfall as Brewery Babe – 7:30-9:30pm
Singing, dancing, storytelling, comedy, heckling, lip-syncing and generally being fabulous, this gal does it all! If you have never been to see a Miz Diamond production, you are missing out. You need this in your life! 21+, no cover.
Sunday, November 19 – Canine Collab Dog Training and Sip & Sesh – 11-12pm, then 12pm on…
Canine Collaborative is back with a training session at the brewery for all the good doggos starting at 11 and then a hang session afterwards when we open. You need to sign up for the training but the hang sesh is open to all. Lots of pups at the brewery. Super cute and super fun, if you like that kind of thing.
Wednesday, November 22 – Thanksgiving Eve w/ La Qchara Food Truck – 4-10pm (Food 5-8)
The one Wednesday per year when we are open! We have La Qchara Food Truck lined up as a food option for you. If you haven’t been to their new location on Cabot Street (previously City Eats), now is your chance to try a few of the wonderful items they make. The atmosphere is always festive this night and we are a good pre-game for the inevitable Lucky Dog visit.
Thursday, November 23 – Thanksgiving Day – CLOSED
Turkey. Stuffing. Family.
Friday, November 24 – Post Thanksgiving Friday – Open at Noon
Need to get out of the house and away from all those crazy people? Or just need to be around other people with those crazy people? We open at noon as an option for you. BYOF. Dog and crazy family friendly, always.
Saturday, November 25 – Shop Small Saturday
Everyone’s favorite credit card holiday is back! But seriously, come shop with us, even if we are beers in between the other places you are buying gifts. Spending your money locally has a direct impact on your local economy and the strength and longevity of the businesses you know and love.
Sunday, November 26 – Read ABV Gentile Book Club – 6pm
Our taproom book club, Read ABV, is trying out a new time, Sundays at 6pm. This month’s book is My Darling Girl by Jennifer McMahon and if you are a quick reader, you could start now and join the conversation then. Or, just be in the taproom by 6pm and meet the group!
Saturday, December 2 – Edex Provisions – 2-6pm
Have you heard of these folks yet? They just opened a shop in Peabody on Main Street a few months back. We haven’t had a chance to go yet, so we are bringing them to us! They source all the finest meats and cheeses from throughout the land, which they will be bringing to the taproom. But at their shop they have so many other amazing gifts and food items to browse through. So, if you don’t make it to Peabody much, come to the brewery first and meet their crew and then maybe venture over there for a few holiday gifts for yourself or a family member you really love.
Thursday, December 7 – Christmas Ale 2023 Bottle Release
We went back to our original recipe this year, a dark, strong English ale brewed with orange peel, cinnamon and clove. A straightforward 8% ish beer made for feasting and merriment. We will only be bottling around 300 bottles again, so get in and get yours! Featuring new artwork from local artist Morgan Dyer.
