vinyl revival night
this friday!!!
Dust off your crates and dig in. Back East is hosting our Vinyl Revival Night, a record-lover’s evening dedicated to all things analog.
We’re bringing together some of the best vinyl record vendors, including Yankee Vinyl Records and Crated Records, for a record fair in the taproom — plus DJ Lord Lewis spinning an all-vinyl set all night long.
The night is presented in partnership with Litchfield Distillery, and we’ll be featuring specialty cocktails made with their incredible local spirits.
On the beer side, we’re dropping a limited-edition release just for the occasion — First Pressing, a smooth and roasty Czech Dark Lager brewed for the perfect needle-drop.
czech dark lager
first pressing
A Dark Czech Lager brewed for the true crate diggers.
Deep mahogany in the glass with notes of toasted bread and caramel. This smooth sipper finishes crisp and clean—just like the crackle before the needle drops.
Malty, smooth, and built for long spins in the taproom.
Go ahead—drop the needle and grab a pint & cans this Friday!
Irish red ale
lucky break
Let’s be honest, we all could use a Lucky Break right now! 🍀
Good news—it’s here! This smooth Irish Red Ale started as a small-batch gem in our pilot system, but now it’s made it to the big leagues. With caramel sweetness, toasted bread aromas, and a crisp, easy finish, it’s the perfect pint for whatever kind of break you need.
Now brewed in bigger batches with a killer label from @deadrabbitdesignco—grab your Lucky Break this Wednesday in the taproom and keep an eye out at your favorite stores and bars for more!
