Eddie and I hung out at the brewfest and gave out koozies and buttons. Then we talked for a little bit when the band stopped playing for a break.

We had so many random people stop by to chat for a few minutes, Paul, Scott and everyone from Black Hat put on an excellent tasting for charity!

We were invited to do a podcast at Oak Square Liquors in Brighton.

No clue what was going to entail but we ended up meeting new friends! We met the guys for Three Piece Suit Football, a charity designed to raise money to train rescue dogs for veterans.

Also, Matt from Mayflower was pouring beers all night!

Fall is here! Pumpkin beers attack, girlfriends drag you for apple picking and the hipsters are out in full beard and flannel!

We had a podcast takeover and a tasting of Sam Adams Utopias!

Joe Buckley and James Corbett of the Attention Deficit Podcast stopped by to help us sample the Sam Adams Utopias! 

We had a Sam Adams rep in the house to give out free stuff but we all decided it was best to schedule their own tap takeover soon!
