So, which of you maniacs woke up ungodly early to hunt for Black Friday beer releases or discount video game consoles? I did neither. I went to my job and nursed my Thanksgiving hangover like a responsible grown up. With every passing minute, I grew more and more enraged by BCBS posts. First of all, I don’t really care what beer you bought, and, secondly, it’s just really fancy Budweiser. There’s no need to flood every beer forum with pictures of your “haul”. Anyway… Other things happened this week, too. Here they are in an all-new edition of The Weekly Buzz.

I hope they don’t use VASELINE or MAGAZINES in this one! TANGERINES would be OK, though.*

Do you realize it’s been 3 years since our last music collaboration?! You’ve been asking for it, and we’re beyond excited to announce our 2018 music collaboration partners … @theflaminglips! More details – including our full 2018 beer calendar – to come on Monday, Nov. 27! pic.twitter.com/GuY7JDcJ73

*I do not apologize for my old man music joke.

Anyone go hunting for Whalez on Black Friday?

“Aye, aye! and I’ll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, and round perdition’s flames before I give him up. And this is what ye have shipped for, men! to chase that white whale on both sides of land, and over all sides of earth, till he spouts black blood and rolls fin out. What say ye, men, will ye splice hands on it, now? I think ye do look brave.”

–Moby-Dick, or The Whale by Herman Melville

So many hashtag holidays this week! Thanks to all the breweries who gave to good causes on #GivingTuesday!

If you've enjoyed a glass of Lunch from us you probably know that it's named in honor of a whale spotted off of the Maine coast with a bite out of her fin. We brew this beer in honor of the work done by @AlliedWhale use #GivingTuesday to support their efforts & adopt a whale
