About Alewife Brewing Alewife Brewing is a small batch brewery located in the heart of the Sunnyside section of Queens, NY. We focus on brewing traditional and innovative styles of beer, using only the finest ingredients. Our goal is to provide a unique and enjoyable drinking experience for all who visit our taproom.

Alewife Brewing has fallen in love with the stories of ancient times and the roles women had in society. The peace they emulated through their beliefs and love towards nature and all species has inspired us to capture their magic in our beers and on our 16 oz. can labels. The latest historical findings suggest that wine was not the oldest elixir, but in fact, beer mixed with psychedelic substances used in shamanistic ceremonies dating back much further. Gathered and formulated, the Alewives were the makers of both spiritual and medicinal potions.

Through our journeys thus far in life, we’ve developed a deep love for ancient elixirs while brewing and traveling to learn ancient and modern techniques for exceptional beers brewed at our new home in Sunnyside, Queens.

Don't worry, it's just beer we make, no special additions!

Chicago Beer Pass: Bone Bone Bone

Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.

On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White have themselves a hazy double IPA from the Sauganash brewery, Alarmist. Bone Bone Bone… is the first time in a while that the guys have reached for this style, and it didn't disappoint. It was just a few episodes ago that the guys tried the Alarmist and Solemn Oath collaboration. Bone Bone Bone is another collaboration, this time with Hidden Hand. As Brad and Nik crush a few cans, they get excited for St. Patrick's Day coming up, but they also dive into the trend of THC waters that seem to be hitting the market and who might be the audience for this beverage.

He didn’t mean to get involved with her…scheme? Vigilante act? It’s hard to say what exactly Detective Lim is after. That’s the difference between her and Judge Kang- whereas the latter had a purpose, a vision at the end of the line, Detective Lim only uses the Mask Girl as a means to an end. Sure, Mask Girl allows her to apprehend the ones who know the loopholes of the law too well, but he knows how it goes with vigilantes. First comes the exhilaration, the adrenaline, and then the assumption they’ll never be caught- that’s how Icarus flew too close to the sun. 

But it’s not just how- even if it’s supposed to keep to her nightlife, the Mask Girl has already sunken her claws into all parts of Detective Lim’s life. If she’s not careful, Mask Girl will become the entirety of her life. That’s what happened to Judge Kang, how he leaned too far into the vision, letting the other parts of his life crumble away. He was Jesus in some eyes for that, yes, but also Lucifer- the line between hero and criminal was never too defined to begin with anyways.

That’s how Ga-ram ended up with stitches on his head too. And apparently, too much free time on his hands that now he’s been roped into helping Mask Girl keep up with appearances. “How do you know that’s all the information they have on the Mask Girl? Just because you know that’s their main hub for communication, doesn’t mean they don’t have any cards hiding in their sleeves.” That and it’s one of the basics too- you don’t keep all your information in one drive. In the case it ends up compromised, there needs to be other venues to keep the entirety of the truth out of their hands. “And I doubt their leader is sharing all of his thoughts there- he probably has a few pieces of information he wants to keep to himself.”

Glowering halfheartedly, he swipes the bottle offered and mirroring her, takes a generous sip. The alcohol burns in his throat. How Detective Lim manages to still make jokes despite her  circumstances is beyond him. Or maybe that’s just because he’s always a pessimist. “Don’t delude yourself. At this point, it’d be embarrassing for the both of us if you got caught.” 

Or maybe that’s just because he doesn’t want her to get caught. Like Yohan was, but that won’t be happening this time around. Not on Ga-ram’s watch.

But Ga-ram is half way through another sip when she mentions her shows. For the briefest of moments, he freezes and nearly chokes on his beer. Him? Watching her shows, the ones that are meant to be provocative? Wrenching the bottle away from his mouth, Ga-ram coughs and suddenly, their shared bottle on the coffee table looks very interesting.

“...Not interested,” he says almost too quickly. Defensively. “Why the fuck would I go in the first place- you said the shows are means to an end.”

any other way

✩‌ logan howlett/wolverine x reader | fluff | 1.8k

SUMMARY | in which your good friend, wade, ditches your planned movie night, but his roommate offers to watch one with you instead. however, logan ends up falling asleep on your shoulder.

WARNINGS | drinking, kissing, swearing, gets a little steamy/handsy

RATING | teen+

NOTES | it's funny... i've been a big x-men fan for a while, but i never really fell for logan until d&w. if this pops off, maybe i'll write more for him!!!

///

“Wade, hurry up and let me in! A girl can only hold freshly popped popcorn for so—oh.” 

Instead of your dear, annoying friend, it’s his gorgeous, rugged roommate who answers the apartment door instead. Your eyes sweep over him, taking a liking to how his brown plaid button-up drapes over his white tank top. His clothing choices compliment his sturdy frame and strong pecs. His facial hair is perfectly groomed and—  

And it doesn’t help that you have just the teeniest, tiniest crush on him. 

“Logan, hey!” you exclaim, a little too enthusiastically. “I didn’t know you were going to be here for movie night too.” 

“Wade’s not here, bub,” Logan says, leaning against the doorframe with crossed arms and a sympathetic half-smile.

“What?! That little shit said he’d be free tonight…”  You sigh, shaking your head. “Well, it’s all good. I’ll just—” 

“Did you want to watch a movie with me instead?” Logan offers. You think you hear a hint of hopefulness in his voice. “Since you came out all this way?” 

Your eyebrows shoot up. “Oh, I wouldn’t want to bother you. I’m sure you’re—”

“Darlin’,” he interrupts with a soft chuckle. Your heart stumbles at the sound. “I have never been more free on a Saturday night. You’re welcome to join me, but only if you’re comfortable with it.” 

Now your heart is melting over his kindness. You smile warmly. “I always feel comfortable around you, Logan.” 

He returns the smile and gestures for you to come in, offering to take the popcorn and if you want anything as you remove your shoes.

“I got it, but thank you. A beer would be good,” you reply, settling in on one end of the couch in the living room. You glance around curiously. “Is Blind Al not home either?” 

“Yeah,” Logan calls from the nearby kitchen, bending towards the open fridge to grab the drinks. “She’s getting, in her own words, ‘turned up’ at the casino tonight.”

You snicker as you browse through streaming services to pick a movie for tonight. Logan returns with a beer in each hand and you’re surprised when he takes the middle seat next to you. You catch a whiff of his scent and it is intoxicating–a blend of woody notes, perhaps leather and pine. 

“So what’s the movie for tonight?” Logan asks, taking a sip from his bottle. 

“Well, be honest with me here: Wade promised that we could watch this new movie that just released a few days ago, but it’s a romantic movie, so—” 

“Of course,” he cuts in with a roll of his eyes, tossing a kernel into his mouth. “That’s his favourite genre.” 

You deflate a little. “Okay, with that tone, I’m assuming I will have to change the movie choice.” 

“No! Don’t change it because of me,” Logan quickly interjects. “We can watch whatever you want. I’m genuinely content to just sit here and do something other than watching reruns I’ve seen a million times before.” 

You study him for a moment, trying to gauge his sincerity. “Are you sure?” 

“I’m sure,” he reassures you, nodding and flashing another smile. You will yourself to calm your racing heart and focus on finding the movie. Once you select it, you press play and relax into the couch cushions. 

Out of nowhere, Logan places his arm around you, his hand slightly hovering above your shoulders. You stiffen at the unexpected move, unsure why he’s doing it. But then he quickly pulls back, shuffling a bit away from you.

“Shit, sorry,” he mutters, clearly embarrassed. “It’s out of habit when I watch stuff.”

“You can leave your arm there,” you blurt out. You don’t even register the words coming out of your mouth. Where was this boldness coming from? 

He quirks an eyebrow, amused. “Yeah?” 

“Mm-hmm,” you nod fervently, rushing to grab your beer to steady your nerves. Taking a long sip, you try to force your body to relax again. 

The first few minutes of the movie starts quite slow, but your eyes are glued to the screen to ensure you don’t miss the exposition. Just as you reach for the popcorn, so does Logan, and the back of your hands brush against each other. 

“Sorry,” you both mumble, glancing at each other in awkwardness and something hanging in the air. He juts his chin out with a subtle smirk, gesturing you to go first. You grab a handful, and as he follows suit, his fingers graze against yours, causing you to shiver. 

The air in the room is electric, and you wonder if the tension is just in your head or if Logan feels it too. The movie continues, but your thoughts are consumed by the warmth of his body so close to yours and the possibility of what might happen next. 

Later into the movie, you freeze as you feel Logan leaning in closer. You turn your head, ready for what might happen–

But then, he goes completely lax, slouching into your shoulder and resting his head in a comfortable position. 

“I should’ve chosen a different movie…” you think, shaking your head. 

It’s hard to focus on the movie with this gorgeous being asleep on your shoulder (and the movie doesn’t seem to be that great anyway). Towards the end of the movie, your attention drifts completely and you indulge in how Logan sleeps. His soft snoring. The gentle squeezes he gives your shoulder as he dreams. The steady rise and fall of his chest as he breathes in and out. 

Suddenly, Logan stirs and lifts his head, almost snorting up air cutely. He blinks groggily. “Oh, shit. I’m sorry, gorgeous. Did I sleep through the movie?” 

You hesitate, hung up on the fact that he called you gorgeous. Your cheeks prickle as you search for the right words to say.

“Yeah, you did,” you whisper with a small smile. “But it’s fine. It wasn’t that great anyway.” 

“Mm, figures,” he mumbles. “Did you wanna watch another movie or—” 

As he straightens up, you instinctively lean towards him, closing the gap between you two. Your noses practically touch.

“Or did you wanna do…” Logan’s voice is low and gravelly. You hold your breath and hold his gaze. “...something else?” 

You barely nod, and he drags you into a searing kiss. His hands cup your cheek and neck with urgency. Soon enough, his tongue dips into your mouth, sending a jolt to your core. 

Logan cradles your body and carefully positions you lower onto the couch. The weight of his body pressed up against you sends you into overdrive. His hands dive underneath your shirt, exploring your soft skin. The pressure of his body against yours leaves you breathless. Not only the pressure of his body, but also his—

“Winner winner, chicken dinner!” 

Wade’s booming voice cuts through the front door like a tornado, forcing both of you to scramble away faster than opposing magnets. However, it’s too late; Wade has witnessed everything. 

“Oh, my God, Blind Al, my plan worked! It fucking worked!” Wade squeals, jumping up and down. 

“Oh, no. Are they butt-ass naked on the couch? Times like these, I’m grateful to be blind.” 

“No, they’re thankfully fully clothed. But they were just dry humping the shit out of each other though.” 

“You ditched movie night on purpose, you asshole!” you screech. 

“Hey, you should be thanking me,” Wade retorts with a wink. “You and Wolvie always have had palpable sexual tension every time you were in a room together. Hell, even Laura agreed it’d be a good idea to set you two up.” 

Logan and you exchange a sheepish smile, acknowledging the truth in Wade's words. 

“Blind Al and I will just be basking in our casino winnings with a few drinks and then we’ll be out of your hair in a few. And then you two can carry on and fuck each other freely on the couch.” 

“But keep it down, please,” Blind Al adds with a hint of desperation.

“I probably should get going now,” you chime in, eager to avoid the awkwardness. Logan quickly follows behind, walking you to the front door. 

“I’m sorry about all this,” he says in sincerity.

You wave him off. “You never have to apologize for them. They’re like family; I’m used to them.” 

“I didn’t know where the night was heading, but—” He turns around to check over his shoulder, lowering his voice and leaning in slightly. “—I’m glad Wade set us up.” 

“Heard that!” Wade calls out from inside the apartment. 

“Damn it,” Logan mutters, making you giggle. “Anyways, would you let me take you out on a proper date tomorrow night?” 

You beam as you reply, “I’d love that.” 

“Great, I’ll call you later.” 

Logan steps outside of the apartment and closes the door behind him, pulling you in by your waist for another kiss. Innocent at first, but then he presses you up against the wall and his hands grips at your waist, extracting a few moans from you.

“Either get back inside or just go home with her rather than wall-fucking her outside of the apartment!” Wade’s muffled voice echoes through the thin walls. 

Logan retreats slightly, his breath warm against your cheek. He keeps his voice low. “And not trying to put pressure on our date tomorrow, but if—”

“If things get heated, let’s go back to my place,” you finish his thought with a soft promise. 

His eyes light up with a relieved smile. “You read my mind. Thank you.” 

You smile into one last kiss, the world fading away as you savor the sensation of Logan’s mouth on yours.

Until Wade pops his head out through the door like a whack-a-mole you’re dying to hit. “Okay, seriously. I will offer you my bedroom, if you’re really that horny, you guys.” He calls out your name. “Also, did you know he can smell how horny you are?” 

“I—what?” you stammer, blinking in confusion.

“Wade, shut the fuck up,” Logan snaps with gritted teeth. He faces you again with a gentle smile. “Have a good night, gorgeous. I’ll call you as soon as you get back home.” 

Logan’s a man of his word, almost calling immediately as you stepped foot in your apartment (with Wade providing unnecessary commentary in the background, as always). 

Later, as you get ready for bed, you can’t help but admit how grateful you were for Wade’s set-up. If it wasn’t for him, neither of you would’ve made a move; it would’ve progressed at a glacial pace. 

Lying in bed and looking up at your bedroom ceiling, you think to yourself how tonight truly was perfect, and you wouldn’t have had it any other way. Smiling, you drift off to sleep, dreaming of what tomorrow’s date might bring. 

ENDING NOTES | thank you so much for reading and giving some love! part two can be read here!

"Before we get to Bob, I just got one Mikkola stat for ya. So Niko Mikkola—we always talk about Matthew Tkachuk being an Edmonton hater and an Oilers Killer—maybe it's Mikks being the ultimate hater though? Because Mikkola has 3 goals in 8 career games against the Oilers in the regular season. He's got 8 goals in 264 regular season games against everybody else. Something about the Oilers, Mikksy gets up for the games against Edmonton. And stick tap to him, maybe my Dawg of the Game, he was a big dawg in that game. Reinhart probably the most impactful player but Mikks was the dawg, a just absolutely dawg that whole game but—" "I used my veto power because they give us the Three Stars of the Game, I saw it was selected by Sportsnet, Canadian outlet. There were two Oilers, one Panther on the Three Stars. Whoever the third star was—" "It was McDavid, he had three assists but I'm putting Mikksy, one goal, one assist." "I bumped him off and I put Niko Mikkola as the Third Star. I left the top two as they were—" "Reinhart." "—put Reinhart number one." "That's fine. I agree." "I used my veto power and change it to that. On the radio broadcast anyway!" "Which is the real Three Stars that matter!"

Territory Talk | 12.17.24 (x)

the mikks hivemind works in wondrous ways folks!

congrats to niko "oilers killer" mikkola for having 10 career goals so far and 4 of them being against the oilers he hates that fucking team

Community Beer Works, LLC agrees to acquire Thin Man Brewery of Buffalo, LLC. Community Beer Works co-founder, Christopher Smith, remains optimistic about both breweries' futures.

Press Release

February 13, 2024—BUFFALO, NY—Community Beer Works, LLC (CBW) has agreed to a deal in principle to acquire  Thin Man Brewery of Buffalo, LLC (Thin Man), taking the art of brewing to new heights in Buffalo. CBW is set to  acquire the brand rights and brewery assets of Thin Man, pending regulatory approval. The undisclosed investment  encompasses the Thin Man brand rights, recipes, distribution rights, and the capital assets at 166 Chandler Street.  CBW is set to continue brewing, marketing, and distributing CBW and Thin Man beers. 

This collaboration couldn’t have come at a better time for both breweries. CBW, riding the wave of increasing  demand for its exceptional beers, has been actively exploring ways to boost its brewing capacity. Simultaneously,  Thin Man co-owner Bridget Termini is gearing up for a well-deserved retirement. A deal was born, “For more than  a year, we have been searching for someone who can carry on the creativity and quality of Thin Man Brewery.  We have finally found that match with CBW.” 

Upon final regulatory approval, brewing production will be split between CBW’s existing facilities at  520 7th Street and the former Thin Man brewhouse at 166 Chandler Street. Thin Man at 492 Elmwood Avenue,  which closed its doors in July, will remain closed and is not part of the sale. 

With this strategic move, CBW gains more than just recipes and equipment. The investment in Thin Man opens up  a 16-state distribution channel, boosts brewing capacity to six times the current barrel volume and provides  resources for forging new contract brewing relationships and establishing a community brewing center. 

CBW Co-Founder Chris Smith expresses the broader vision behind the acquisition “It’s a step forward in our  commitment to delivering world-class beer experiences to the people of Buffalo and beyond.,” explains Smith.  “Thin Man has gained international recognition and respect for their beer, and we are honored to carry their legacy forward.” 

Beyond the local impact, the acquisition provides Community Beer Works with the resources and expertise  to scale operations, ensuring that both CBW and Thin Man will continue to brew exceptional beer that competes  globally. This means more innovation, variety, and a better beer-drinking experience for our friends and neighbors. 

Paul Vukelic, President of Try-It Distributing said, “Community Beer Works and Thin Man Brewery are known  for their high-quality beer, and this exciting acquisition brings two of our valued local partners together.  We look forward to working with them to bring their great beers to market for years to come!” “There’s much to decide, plan, and execute over the next few months, and we’re excited to share those plans as they  evolve... we’re on the cusp of something truly special here in Buffalo, let’s have a beer and celebrate!” says Smith.
