4/20 Controlled Beer Dispense Fest! Blaze on down to BuzzWorks!

Screen Shot 2018-04-13 at 12.24.31.png

All this week, we will be putting on special beers in honor of our favorite holiday. We are featuring 7 Controlled Beer Dispense Beers and some other specialties! Check back often for the ever-growing list. The festivities start at 3pm and we'll have a special surprise at 4:20pm!

All of these beers will be on tap on 4/20!

Some will be available before, or like, whenever we get to it.

Dogfish Head - Flesh & Blood with a surprising addition!

Black Hammer - Toke Back Mountain

Faction - Crosby, Stills, & Hash

Sixpoint - Resin

Black Hammer - Blucid Dream

"One of our favorite creations in our line of CBD beers will have you feeling no pain in no time. Loads of Mosaic hops keep this IPA with a bit of a kick BlucidDream boasts a medium body, just the right amount of blueberry and an ever so sweet finish. Nothing is going to harsh your vibe with a Blucid Dream in hand."

 

Lagunitas - Waldo's Special

 

Harmonic - Uncle Snoop

 

Black Hammer - Paul Sigh Melon

 

Fieldwork - Nug Champa

Nug Champa is our once a year Double IPA to be released leading up to the ever so important holiday on April 20th. Not to be out of theme, this beer is a veritable head shop in a glass; smelling like a truckload of marijuana crossing state lines. Freshly trimmed pot leaves, sticky resin, and underlying notes of tangerine peel and coconut leave this beer with a complex hop profile that changes and morphs with the temperature. Exceedingly dry for its size, with simple notes of honey covered biscuits coming from the malt, Nug Champa Double IPA is deceptive in iits size and will leave you forgetting it isn't your run of the mill IPA. 'Cause you know, it certainly wasn't anything else causing that short-term memory loss. Hops: Columbus, Eureka, Fieldwork Dank Blend.

Barebottle - Duster Posey

 

Fieldwork - Sour Diesel

Tart Hoppy Saison! Inspired by a trip to a world-renowned horticultural competition in Amsterdam in 2004, Sour Diesel is a Tart Hoppy Saison with a hefty dry hop putting off assertive ganja and grapefruit aromas. As the thick hop aroma sets the tone for your palate, there is an initial shock at the sour nature of the first sip. Slowly as you work your way through the glass, the tart acidic nature of Sour Diesel marries with the bright grapefruit notes of the hops, which in turn bridges the gap to the dank resinous hop character intially delivered. Much like its cannabaceae namesake, our Sour Diesel is best enjoyed with friends while lying out in Vondelpark; or in our case, with friends at BuzzWorks!  Hops: Amarillo, Columbus, Fieldwork Dank Blend.

Henhouse - Cascade Super Heavy

 zero-IBU Pale Ale. The return of our first zero-IBU Pale Ale for the first use of our 2017 harvest Cascade. New dry-hopping regimen exudes maximum orange, cocktail bitters, sweet tea and delight.

Track 7 - Panic

 

Black Hammer - Pineapple Excess

New England Style IPA with refreshing notes of pineapple and 5mg of CBD per 10oz serving. Amarillo and Chinook hops. Inquire about availability! 

 

Anderson Valley - Bright Lighter

 

Ghost Town - Coffin Juice (Coughin' Juice?)

Hazy IPA! Hops: Mosaic, Amarillo, Equinox
Notes: pineapple, Mango, orange zest

 

Federation - La Motita

"Celebrate 4/20 this year with La Motita, a session IPA (4.20% ABV--get it? GET IT?) made with cannabis terpenes, available for delivery on 4/19. Terpenes are the non-psychoactive compound that gives cannabis its distinctive aroma. Put simply, this beer hella smells like weed. Not, like, "Oh, what a pleasant sweet piney nose," but, like, "Damn, Snoop and Willy are having a party in this glass." This is a very limited release, so get your order in soon!"

 

Black Hammer - Toke Back to the Future 2

"Our latest American Pale Ale starts with ripe orange aromas, followed by a breeze of papaya, Meyer lemon and faint notes of fir. A thick, creamy head keeps form and structure just long enough to eventually part and reveal a beautiful burnt orange, opaquely hazy beer bursting with flavor. You'll discover a slightly creamy mouthfeel, complemented by tiny persistent bubbles to beef up the body on all the juicy goodness that is about to envelop your taste buds. Don't worry Mcfly, your palate isn't about to take a punch to face; it's getting a slow, well-deserved, long, citrus-laced kiss. You'll want to slow dance with this fallen angel all night because it will have you feeling as fly as McFly in two shakes of a Dolorean. 5mg of CBD per 10oz serving and Headband Terpenes."

0-2.jpg

Did you hear that our comedy show lost it's entire left side?

...Well it's all right now!

Our World Famous Monthly Comedy Show is back! Did we mention it's free?! On with the comics:

 

Frankie Marcos

0-4.jpg

rankie Marcos was born and raised in San Jose, CA. His first time doing stand up was at a dive bar in San Francisco with no microphone, and no other people performing. Since then, he has become a regular at comedy clubs such as: The Comedy Underground in Seattle WA, the San Jose Improv, Rooster T Feathers, the San Francisco Punchline, and more. Frankie has worked with Bobby Lee, Chris Kattan,Guy Torry, Tony Roberts, Tony Baker, Frankie Quinones, and more.

He has performed for youth at Juvenile Hall in San Jose and was featured on the front page of the main article in the METRO newspaper.

 

Nathan Mosher

0-4.jpg

Unapologetically himself and the embodiment of boyish charm, you’ll have to lie to yourself in order to hate 22-year-old comedian Nathan Mosher. Since his stand up debut at seventeen in Los Angeles, Mosher actively touches on the human experience which includes figuring out the endless challenges of heartbreak to Filipino immigrant kid guilt all through personal, transparent anecdotes and nonsensical, absurd situations. He has brought his trademark light, informal yet, spellbinding words to stages in London, New York, Boston, Washington D.C., San Francisco, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and as a semi-finalist in NBC’s Stand Up for Diversity Showcase. Mosher’s inherent ability to hustle, while fostering his craft, has elevated him to open for respected acts like Maria Bamford, Moshe Kasher and Ali Wong.

 

James Gleason

unnamed.jpg

James Edward Gleason is a stand up comic and alto saxophonist from San Francisco. His debut on a comedy stage in 1983 —-at age 15 —-took place at Wolfgang’s nightclub in San Francisco (now Cobb’s) alongside the biggest names in SF Comedy. His performance was so disastrous and lacking and traumatic that his next attempt at stand up comedy took place in 2010 at age 41.  

James is the winner of the Road To The Funnies/FunnyFest Competition 2017 which took place in San Francisco & Oakland from April thru September featuring three dozen local comedians.

Dauood Naiymar

Dauood Naiymar.jpg

David Naimyar was born Dauood Mohammad Naimyar, but at a very young age he knew the value of assimilating. Because of this, he tried his best to not be different but failed at every encounter. Once he embraced his eccentric point of view he saw the humor all around him. David’s humor and comedic perspective is shaped by the duality of his constant need to fit in and be different. His search for being relatable and yet controversial has brought audiences joy for the last four years and will probably continue until he finally figures out who he is, which we hope he doesn’t cause bills need to be paid.

Originally from Southern California, Tony flipped convention on its head and moved away from LA to do stand up. Tony got into comedy because of an achy heart -- instead of writing bad poetry about it he wrote bad jokes. His comedy and his heart have gotten better since then but his material still deals with handling relationships, his upbringing, and navel gazing through life.

Previously based in Santa Cruz, Tony now lives in San Francisco. He has performed all over the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and once in Montreal.
