There’s nothing left to mask or hide… Just ask Liz…

Have you ever done a guided meditation… perhaps a guided walking tour, or heck at a minimum an audio book? Ok, bear with me. Go find this fun song: “Petrol Fumes” by Billy Nomates. Play it. Like now. As you might have notice from past dispatches, there’s a touch of sonic resonance pulsating through these words.  So indulge me, why don’t ya?

Well y’all, the world is changin’ yet again. Go figure, right? In a related tangent, I was one of those folks that supported that person that believed in science and the experts. Those experts put out some guidance today, and we will honor that guidance. While I’m personally vaccinated, I’ll be staying masked for the foreseeable future, ’cause I care about all of y’all.

If you’ve gone this far, and you’d like to play along, go find “US Mail” by Kevin Morby, or “Only You” by Yaz, They’re both nice bookends to this mishagaas.

Alrighty y’all… Let’s talk about events!!!! Next Thursday we’ve got the fine folks from Tupps in house for a tasting and a little razzle-dazzle. Let your mind run wild on that hyphenated word… Lockdown is something fierce. And Hunties, on the 28th, the fine folks from House 101 Cider will be popin’ on in. And. Just. Get. Ready. There are more to come.

If you know of anyone currently in search of work, we’ve got an opening! As the days grow longer and more folks get vaccinated, we’re gearing up to meet the moment. We are looking to fill a part-time hourly position. For more information or to submit an application email justin@whichcraft.com .

We’re keeping Legal Draft Brewing in Arlington on retainer as our Brewery of the month! We’ll have 6 packs Nowhere But Texas Lager, both coming in at $8.99!

Thanks for indulging me,

Later,  Y’all!

A kiss of Bestmalz Cara Pils lends a touch of body to round out the mouthfeel. Dry, crisp, refreshing…another crushable lager and a new brewer’s favorite

Founders Mas Agave Grapefruit -The cocktail inspiration lives on. Our imperial gose is brewed with agave and sea salt before being aged in tequila barrels. But it doesn’t end there. Once it’s pulled from the barrels, it gets a dose of fresh grapefruit juice to ramp up the tanginess and to pay homage to our other favorite tequila-based cocktail, the Paloma. Sweet, salty, and mouth-puckeringly delicious. 9.7% ABV

Sixpoint Anti-Resin -Remember your first sip of hazy beer? We do. The game had completely changed. The bitter battle was over. This was the antithesis—almost seemed too good to be true.

Thinking about that haze…bursting with juice…ripe as all hell…makes me look backward at those ANTI-RESINS all night long. Welcome to the bizarro world. 9.1% ABV
