Today, we’re tipping our hats to the heartbeat of Deadwords – our incredible regulars. Your loyalty speaks volumes, and we couldn’t be more grateful for your undying support.

This week, we want to appreciate our regulars Courtney and LA.😄

LA (pictured on the right)

“By far my favorite beer I ever had a Deadwords was the Wilson (I actually recommended it to Courtney! 😜). It’s by and far one of my top three favorite beers of all time—easy to drink and absolutely delicious! Another one I reallllllly loved was mandarin brunch! I’ve been on a hazy kick for awhile, and that one really hit the spot! Ooh! Also really enjoy timberline…if you can’t tell I just love beer!

I love coming to Deadwords because I love all the people! The place really has an awesome vibe. I’ve been so lucky to make some awesome friends at Deadwords—it’s become one of my favorite spots because of the friendships that I’ve made there. The bartenders are some of the coolest, most fun, genuine people and it just makes you want to be there more. Y’all are just awesome! 💜
Courtney and I met at Deadwords too! We wore the same shirt one night and instantly became besties 😜”

Courtney (pictured on the left)

“My favorite beer of all time was The Wilson, I could 100% be stranded on a desert island with this version of Wilson and be pretty damn happy! I’m also a huge fan of the old reliable Bridge! (Maybe I should use that Bridge to get off the Island with Wilson?)

Deadwords is my Cheers! It’s the place where everyone knows your name, and you’re always glad you came! Every Wednesday night is a guaranteed good time, be it with the board game group or sitting at the bar chatting with your favorite bar tenders! It’s a place I can go when I’m having a horrible day and the second the door opens you feel like every thing just may actually turn out okay with life.

It’s also hard to be sad eating a giant pretzel 👍🏻”

Thank you both for your continued support and for making Deadwords the vibrant community it has become!🍻

Indulge in our mouthwatering poutine before it’s too late!

Swing by Deadwords and enjoy every cheesy, gravy-coated bite🤤

We have a NEW beer releasing TODAY!

Introducing the BitCrusher, a dry hopped oat lager. It was crafted with a large portion of flaked and malted oats, then judiciously dry hopped with El Dorado, Vista, and Hallertau Blanc hops.

Notes of lemon-lime, watermelon candy, and grapenuts are the highlight in this creamy breakfast beer, with a light bitterness and zippy carbonation acting as a counterweight to a fluffy, silky smooth mouthfeel.

Come into the taproom starting today and get yourself a pint to start off the weekend well! 🍺
