Dave needs your help!
Madeleine, Dave’s daughter, has a new band called Swinging on Birches. They have been selected as finalists in a competition that will bring them from Scotland to Canada. To get here they need people to vote for them. Simply, the band with the most votes comes. Dave hopes that if we can get them to Canada, we can get them to perform here in the Listening Room in September!
All you need to do is click on the QR code below and cast your vote. You can vote once a day and you can use multiple email addresses if you have them! The contest ends on the 21st of this month.
Thanks!
P.S. Just scroll past the QR (after voting :P ) to get to the regular content… Dave’s still not quite savvy on the image importing and sizing! Old dogs don’t ya know.
Beer News!
Cannot Tell a Lie Cherry Sour is on tap!
Nae Borra (no problem in Glaswegian vernacular) is a Scottish strong ale graced with a goodly dose of heather tips. Look for this on Saturday the 11th.
Lastly the Undauntable DIPA is fermenting nicely and should be on tap in another week.
This Friday we are brewing the Beerfield Hefeweizen!
The brewing schedule has us doing another batch of McCoy’s Choice Porter and Charley Mopps Stout in the near future. Probably need to do a maple version of the pale too. Then we get onto the Route Fo-ah, rhubarb IPA and other summer beers.
Also coming soon will be Entwhisle India Brown Ale. This one brewed for a dear friend of the Blasty.
The Easter Egg Hunt was a complete giggle! Hats off to April Fournier who collected 101 eggs. That was almost a quarter of all the eggs that Jess and Jed and I hid around the property. For her collecting prowess, April gets a gift certificate for $20!
In the Listening Room!!
Paper Wings will be performing on April 14th.
Check out the Blasty Trad Webpage for details!
The 2026 Mug Club is open for renewals and new members!
Stop in to get a form and reserve your own mug on the wall! We have an additional 50 mugs being made by a local artisan bringing our total to 150 members. Membership gets you a 20 oz pour at a discounted 16 oz price, an artisanal mug, discounts on merchandise, a birthday beer on the house, a custom t-shirt with your club number and updates on new releases before they hit the general public.
I do have it on good authority that mugs are getting close to being finished!
