Stellwagen Beer and Events

It's no secret this daddy likes his beer. Although I have my favorites, I also like to try out new beers, especially local ones. It's important for me to support local businesses and help the small businesses pay their people, who are also local.

One day while happily living my life, I came across the Stellwagen Beer Company from Marshfield, MA, the home of the Talking Information Center. In addition to offering locally brewed beer, they also host a lot of events for people to check out while enjoying a beer. Beer by itself can be fun, but when more fun is being offered in addition to the beer, it borders on exciting.

Jurassic Dark, A Dark Lager Beer

Pop's Fine Wine and Liquors in Easton


News about Stellwagen and the events it would be hosting reached my social media. I had never heard of the brewery, but I was intrigued at what was happening on its grounds, as well as the beer. I dropped by a store that I knew I could count on for locally made beer.

Jurassic Dark by Stellwagen


I tried Stellwagen's Jurassic Dark. This is a dark beer that isn't too bitter. It's also not overpowering at 4.5%. You can enjoy a few of these and still be able to function. It's smooth; something I wasn't expecting from this lager. There is a roasted flavor to this, and the chocolate and coffee notes mentioned in the beer's profile aren't overpowering. This is a good beer, and it's one I would definitely like to try again.

Events at Stellwagen


There's a lot happening at this Marshfield brewery. There is trivia every Thursday night starting at 7:00. For St. Patrick's Day Weekend, Stellwagen is kicking off the festivities with a pre-race party for the 14th Annual Marshfield St. Patrick's Day 5k on Friday night. The race, benefitting the Marshfield Education Foundation, starts Saturday morning at 10:00 and is followed by an after-party (6:00) featuring music from DJ Sprino. On March 17th, John Demers will play St. Paddy's Day music for all the beer lovers in attendance on this great Irish holiday. There will also be raffles, food, and special drinks available throughout this weekend. More information can be found at Stellwagen's website.

How I Survive Shopping at Market Basket

Image
I am a stay-at-home-dad, which means I am responsible for serving and cooking meals, and shopping for the ingredients needed to make said meals. Over the years, I have made a habit of looking for the best deals. It comes from being broke in my twenties, like a lot of people have gone through and are going through now. Shopping at Market Basket Saves Money "The Basket" One shopping godsend I discovered years ago is Market Basket . If you're not from New England, you may remember this grocery store chain from the 2016 documentary  that told of the internal fighting at the top of the corporate chain and the employees' reaction to the in-fighting. More recently, the store was in the news when one customer allegedly threw a watermelon at another. 🍉 Sensational stories aside, people like me go to Market Basket because it's cheap. I have four children, a dog, and a cat to feed, so it's important to stretch that grocery dollar. There are some people who don't go

It's been a busy spring and summer for me, so busy that I have been torn away from some of my duties including chronicling my adventures on the home front.

I've been there for almost six months, and I'm still learning. What is this Job? My new job So, what exactly is this new job I have? Well, it's one that allows me to combine my numerous gifts and talents. I get to work with something I love, and I connect with throngs of people at a time.

Stories are rampant in the media and social media can make the act of bullying easier. It can also make stories about bullying more accessible.
