HOLIDAY TAPROOM HOURS

First of all, thanks for all the great comments about the new beer we have on tap, the Wassail! We blew through a bunch of it this weekend in the taproom, but we should have it on tap through the New Years weekend.

We will be open the following days for the Holidays:

Mon Dec 22 Brewery open, Taproom closed
Tues Dec 23 Brewery open, Taproom closed
Wed Dec 24 Brewery closed, Taproom closed
Thur Dec 25 Brewery closed, Taproom closed

Friday Dec 26 Brewey open, TAPROOM OPEN 4-8 PM
Saturday Dec 27 Brewery closed, TAPROOM OPEN 2-8 PM with tours at 2:30, 3:30, 4:30, and 5:30 PM

Mon Dec 29 Brewery open, Taproom closed
Tues Dec 30 Brewery open, Taproom closed
Wed Dec 31 Brewery closed, Taproom closed
Thur Jan 1 Brewery closed, Taproom closed

Friday Jan 2 Brewey open, TAPROOM OPEN 4-8 PM
Saturday Jan 3 Brewery closed, TAPROOM OPEN 2-8 PM with tours at 2:30, 3:30, 4:30, and 5:30 PM

So what the heck does it mean when I say, "Brewery open"? Well, when we are brewing, the back doors by our loading dock are open and you can swing by and pick up whatever you need - t-shirts, hats, growlers, kegs, etc. The same goes for returning kegs - even when the taproom is not open, you can come to the back doors. We may be in the middle of something, and it might take a few minutes, but we'll always be glad to take care of you!

"WASSAIL" ON TAP THIS WEEKEND!


Just in time for the holidays, we brewed a dark, mysterious ale that will warm the cockles of your weary heart. A traditional Wassail brew was a dark ale or mead spiced with ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Our hoppy American brown has a rich caramel and chocolate body, a hoppy bouquet of citrus and pine, and a subtle aroma of Christmas cookie spice. See if you can guess what we spiced it with! It will be on tap for this weekend starting Thursday Dec 18, and if I know all you thirsty Yazooligans, it won't last long. Come down and get a growler or two - I guarantee it will make the present wrapping this weekend more fun!


"The Wassail Song", English traditional, 17th century

Here we come a wassailing
Among the leaves so green,
Here we come a wandering
So fair to be seen.

Our wassail cup is made
Of the rosemary tree,
And so is your beer
Of the best barley.

Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail too,
And God bless you and send you a happy New Year.
And God send you a happy New Year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HOPPY NEW YEAR!

BEST GIFT IDEA EVER!


Get the beer lover in your life something they will really appreciate! I mean, socks and underwear are good and all, but you can't drink your underwear (and savor it). Our gift packs come with four of our Yazoo logo pint glasses, and a growler. You can have the growler filled at the time you buy the gift, or we'll give you a gift card for a refill later. They are only $29.95, and the best part about shopping at Yazoo? You can have a beer while you're shopping! Try that at the mall!
