Just a quick reminder that April 2nd marks the release of Schell’s Anniversary Draft Series #6 as well as the 85th Anniversary of abatement charges against the brewery being dropped during Prohibition. Jace put a page up on the Schell’s website that has two newspaper articles about the trial as well as their transcripts. They’re a bit lengthy, but it gives a little insight into a scary part of Schell’s past and some background about their latest release.

Ted & Jeff’s 10 Year Anniversary
If you must be an April Fool, Acadia should be on your foolin’ list… er… yeah.
Sure it’s April Fools Day, but there’s no foolin’ here. April 1st is Ted and Jeff’s 10 Year Anniversary of being in business together! We’ll have 6 Surly’s on tap PLUS a pin of Furious with tea-bagged Amarillo hops. We’ll tap the pin at 9 pm, so make sure to stop by Common Roots first for the release of Bitter Brewer, and then stop by here for some great beer and music afterwards. And if Surly is not your thing (as if), we’ll have plenty of other beers “left over” from our 1 year anniversary party that we’re sure you’ll enjoy.
