Maurie and Flaurie stand ready to fuck up ICE.

Easing my way out of dry January with a 2.9% Jester King collaboration table beer. This is the way.

Day 23 of dry January. Definitely digging the NA options from Go Brewing.

Keepin’ it simple for 2025 with a fleece crewneck for those of you inspired to hit the gym as part of your New Year’s resolutions or those who just want to support our brewery during Dry January. Off Color Athletic Department is now a thing. Gray or blue.

I always donate the rewards I use right back 😂 since they host so many kitties I figure it’s well spent.

Getting ready for Keep the Glass Night. Starts at 5pm tonight at Mousetrap.

Bearded dude demonstrating a hard pour of the new Nitro Scurry cans from Off Color.

A picture of a glass of properly poured Nitro Scurry with the can upside down to demonstrate that one should hold the can upside down while pouring.

Nitro Scurry cans release tomorrow at noon.

Does it use a widget? No.

How do I achieve cascade effect? A hard pour.

Will the beer taste the same without a hard pour? No.

Can I drink straight from the can? No. Hard pour into glass for best taste.

Please refer to screenshot.

You may be asking yourself, why is that can upside down? Well. It was an artistic choice to draw attention to the fact that there is something very different about this seemingly normal can. And now that we’re talking about this special, upside down can, we can get to the point.

Yes. I tried the fancy strawberries. And they were amazing. Price is steep though.

I like the Fuck the Police one best.
