Beer: Alexandria Smoked Chipotle Porter

Event: Book Fair (2pm)

Dark and fiery, just like our favorite banned books, our smoked chipotle porter makes a good winter warmer and fits nicely in our existing lineup of previous pepper beers. Joining us for this celebration are local booksellers Indie Readery & Records and The Bookshires, along with authors Arleta Rae, DW Ardern, Lara Tupper, Matthew Zanoni Müller, and Steve Monterosso.

Every year, in honor of Pittsfield’s 10×10 Upstreet Arts Festival, we release 10 small batch beers with 10 corresponding launch parties. This year, we’ve teamed up with local artist Cara Betti for this year’s design, and we’ve got a great lineup of special beers and events.
