OUT NOW:

Did you know that, in addition to being a half-assed brewery and tap room, we’re an even MORE half-assed used book store!
I only stock essential reads and guarantee you will be one more lifetime closer to TOTAL AWARENESS with each book you read.
We’ve got another copy of Miracle Club, Principia Discordia and Church of SubGenius showing up later this week, too.
Wake up and realize all of your life’s plans have already turned to dust. A better sense of humor is your only hope!!
Stoked to announce that @karajochowdown will be serving their AMAZING stir-fried noodles for our Mardi Gras party on Saturday February 14th!
