2 types of beer servers: nerds who insist that 4” of head is the correct way to pour a craft beer, and servers who think it’s rude to not fill the beer to the brim.

in an effort to get more engagement on this video, we are asking you to state your preference in the comments section. your answers will not be relayed to the servers, they do not care. this is just fishing for comments to make the algorithm think it’s a good video.

long time mug clubber Josh will be trying out for our newly opened trivia host position tomorrow.

*our previous trivia host tragically died in a freak [ guinea pig incident ]

before coming to trivia tomorrow however, we just wanted to make sure everyone is aware of Josh's "quirks." he scares easily and gets a little stabby when triggered by bright lights, so please turn your phone's camera flash OFF before coming. he's also very passionate about conspiracy theories involving lizard people so this is us kindly asking you to refrain from any talk of reptiles.

thank you for accommodating Josh in advance.

our trivia host died in a [ freak gardening accident ] so now we need a new one.

if you think you got what it takes we're holding tryouts over the next few weeks and bribing potential new trivia hosts with a $50 IHB gift card.

email: [email protected] to learn more and get on the schedule.

ask any of our cousins what their favorite IHB event is and they'll say dirtbag carnival without hesitation. unless they didn't hear the question because working around machinery has caused hearing problems amongst the crew.

the tricky part is trying to explain what it's all about to the uninitiated. it's like a carnival with games and entertainment, but sh*tty and grimy. for dirtbags. like us brewery folk.

brewing is hard, gross work. it doesn't have the same kind of glamour you might see in a wine magazine, where beautiful symmetrical-faced people in white flowy attire sip out of pristine glasses at sunset overlooking a vineyard... brewing is gnarly. earlier today we asked our big head brewer [ jake ] why he shaved his beard - he said it had to go because he was cleaning out the slurry tank and the smell of death, funky bacteria and decay went too deep into his pores, causing his beard to smell like a co**se.

christina said she's gonna write a blog about the significance of dirtbag carnival, so keep an eye out for that, but that's the gist. we're in a dirty business, we work hard, and we play lots harder.

so [ join us ] for dirtbag carnival 2026 on saturday, september 12th. it's a different flavor of fun and not for everyone, but if you have a little dirtbag in ya, this is the place to let it out.

also, huge [ thanks. ] to for his incredible work on this year's dirtbag photo shoot. good to know a solid photographer who accepts beer as payment.
