Idle Hands Adding Ben, The Potato Manager

Ben, our self-proclaimed potato manager, has been a taproom regular since we opened the Malden brewery in 2016. He has always been willing to lend a hand, whether peeling potatoes for an off-the-wall beer or getting in the dunk tank to get the party started. He has been such a part of our brewery family that we routinely bring him to company outings. Unfortunately, he has recently moved away and we don’t get to see him nearly enough anymore. This beer is a homage to him.

Ben, The Potato Manager is an 8% Strong Ale brewed with Sweet Potatoes.

Toffee sweetness with touches of smoke is married to the earthy character of sweet potatoes to provide the perfect complement to your holiday meals and pay tribute to that wonderful side dish: candied yams.

Ben, The Potato Manager will be available in cans and on draft starting at 3pm tomorrow.

Things are about to get goofy. Mac & Gu host their monthly trivia night in the Taproom Wednesday at 7pm. This month the theme is Disney. There will be a focus on the animated movies in the Disney catalog. Trivia starts at 7pm, free to play, must be 21+.

We have an exciting event coming up that you won’t want to miss. Join us on November 9th for our Beer Education Night: East Vs West Coast IPAs. This is going to be an epic battle of flavors and we can’t wait to see which side comes out on top.
