That wind coming off the lake today? Yeah, we noticed too.

We’re pouring Hot Mulled C***r in the taproom. It’s semi-sweet c***r with mulling spices, served hot in a mug. It’s warm in here.

You tell people your friend is great all the time. Now you get 5 minutes to say it in front of a room.

It’s called Pitch Your Friend, and it’s happening October 16. Best pitch wins a prize, and your friend might get a date out of it.

You don’t have to pitch or be pitched to come. Just show up, watch, and hang around after to meet people.

Woah. What are they digging up?

Well... we’re starting construction for a new and improved patio.

We’re still open, so come grab a c***r like usual. You’ll just need to park along Superior Street or one of the surrounding streets for now and come in through the main door facing Superior Street.

We’re opening at 5 PM today and tomorrow, then we’ll be back to our normal hours after that.

We’ll keep you posted as things start to take shape. It’s gonna be good.

Has anyone had a dark chocolate creemee with hot mulled c***r yet? We think they go well together, and it finally feels like the right weather for it.

Add them to the list of reasons Friends Fest + Cellar Sale is going to be fire this weekend. (Is that still what people say?)

But you don’t have to wait. They’re both in the taproom now.
