That other brewery posting cat pictures is ripping us off. You can’t drink fancy beer here, but you can drink fancy beer at our taproom Mousetrap.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!! Our next Keep the Glass night is doubling as a “Not at Your Office, Office Holiday Party” on Thursday, December 11th at Mousetrap. Event starts at 5pm.

This time around we’ll be doing things a little different with this new “Work is Stupid” Irish Coffee Mug.
Capybara Lounging joggers are back in black!

Unfortunately due to manufacturer inventory issues we only have sizes S, M, L, and 2XL.

*please note these are Champion brand and not the same brand as original lounging sweats. But they are just as soft.

One nice thing about lists is a single person made a conscious decision to include you and that’s a nice feeling. For us it’s generally going to be like 6 best American sahtis with a bear on the label currently being brewed or 10 breweries to avoid if you really like hazy ipas 😘

Burrito Beach will be at Mousetrap Sunday at 4pm giving away free burritos while supplies last. Can confirm free burritos definitely pair well with beer.

Have you wanted to join the Off Color Book Club, but haven’t wanted to read a book? Tonight is your night. We’re getting together at Mousetrap at 7pm for a book and cookie swap. Feel free to swing though with a book you maybe haven’t read to swap for a book you maybe won’t read…

NEWSFLASH! Mousetrap is hosting an impromptu news conference. We’ll be open at 1pm today.

What’s better than a hot cocktail on a cold day. This frigid Sunday only, we’re serving up our Double Dino S’mores Hot Chocolate at Mousetrap. Don’t want to watch the game? Perfect. We don’t have televisions.

Double Release at Mousetrap!

Bare Bear - Michael Jackson claimed “Sahti is the only primitive beer to survive in Western Europe. The beer that peasants learned to brew in the 1500s is still made much the same way today.” Here’s our interpretation of this traditional Finnish beer.

This was a crazy ninety minutes or so. But 300 glasses are gone.

We’re so sorry if you were ain’t able to snag one :(

This snowstorm ain’t no joke. We’re not trying to have people trekking in to avoid the roads and then losing their shoes in the snow like paulie walnuts and then blaming us for their cold, wet feet and battered spirits. That’s not our style. So we’re heading home at 5:30 and you should stay home.

With a snowstorm coming, you might not want to make the trek into the taproom tomorrow. So we got to covered today. 20% OFF all to-go beer and merch today (11/28) for in-person orders at Mousetrap only.

If today’s Keep the Glass Night and Ten Crowns release wasn’t exciting enough, we decided to double down with a second release.

Our beloved (by us) zwickel lager, You Never Take Me Anywhere Nice, makes its return for the first time in 18 months.

Devil Otter Tubingers are so hot right now. Hot like the fires of hell. You know you need one. Everyone needs one. And that’s why we’re doing a Keep the Glass Night on Thursday, November 20th at 5pm to celebrate the return of our Czech Dark Lager, Ten Crowns.
November 18, 2025 at 8:05 PM
It’s 4pm on Friday. Tick tock, tick tock. You might still be logged into your computer, but you’re mentally checked out. You’re ready for the weekend and we’ve got a beer that will help you forget your boss and the fact that you have to go back in Monday.
November 14, 2025 at 9:59 PM
Mark your calendars!! Coming up Thursday, November 20th from 5-10pm at Mousetrap, we’ll be doing a Ten Crowns release party as well as our newest Keep the Glass event featuring these sweet .5l devil otter Tubingers*.
