Note: If we have 8 or fewer players, we will play as partners on one table; however, if we get 10 or more players, we will play as partners at TWO TABLES, with teams of either 6 or 8 players at each table.

You do not need to be an expert to play, since your partners will support you if you are still learning, but you should have played before and be at least familiar with the basic rules of the game. Winning strategy seems to come with greater experience. The play can typically get pretty competitive and somewhat boisterous, but you do NOT need to be a highly experienced player to participate. By playing, we all learn to improve. If you do not know how to play, you are welcome to sit in and watch us, ask questions, and learn.

For our games, we will play the partners version, with a winning score of 15. The game can also be played “cutthroat”, where single players compete against any number of opponents.

Mug Club Membership sign-ups occur from November through December.

Our 11 Year Anniversary will be celebrated in traditional Abandoned Building Brewery style with a huge outdoor beer garden in our notorious parking lot, dwarfed by our hulking 1910 red brick mill building to the North and the picturesque Lower Mill Pond and Mt. Tom to the South.

Our celebration features 4 Special Release Anniversary beers. We will also have our regular offering of 14 beers plus some of our new hard seltzers (made with our own in-house distilled vodka, yes we now are a brewery and distillery!!) for a total of 20 offerings. Our brewery team has spent weeks brewing, conditioning, and preparing to have all these wonderful releases ready at the same time. Stay tuned for all the details on the special releases in the week leading up to May 17.

The day will be filled with various food trucks, live music, commemorative glassware, memories to share, and friends’ company to enjoy.

Local Burger, Thai Chili, and Holyoke Hummus will be in the main beer garden while our in-house Vegan Pizza Land can be found in our Speakeasy Alleyway Beer Garden.

Entry to the Main Beer Garden is $5 which includes a commemorative 11 Year Anniversary Beer Glass (while supplies last, we did run our of them last year). For those who are collecting all our signature anniversary glasses, we have been releasing them along with each anniversary party since 2015 (year 2).

Biking and walking are encouraged! We are asking all of our customers who drive to not park behind the Eastworks building on the day of our Anniversary party (or on any of our Food Truck Friday dates moving forward.) Any other location is fine to park at. This includes the lot across Pleasant Street in front of the Keystone Building, the lot at Mill Pond Park, the public parking along Pleasant Street and Ferry St, and behind the other mills. Look for helpful signage.

See you on Saturday May 17, 2025!

Skin in the Game:
Graphene Tattoos, Squishy Circuits, and the Future of Bioelectronics

What is Bioelectronics and why it matters?

• What exactly are graphene tattoos, and how do they measure body signals?

• How do these wearable sensors track electrophysiology (e.g., heart rate, muscle signals)?

• What is conductive putty, and how is it used to sense stress or control a robot?

• What’s next for wearable bioelectronics: where is the field headed?

Dr. Dmitry Kireev is an Assistant Professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Previously, he was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Texas at Austin. He is working on application of 2D materials (graphene, MoS2, PtSe2 etc) into fields of bioelectronics, neuroprosthesis, and wearable electronics. He finished his PhD work at the Institute of Bioelectronics (ICS-8) of Forschungszentrum Julich, Germany, working on graphene-based devices for bioelectronics. He is a recipient of a prestigious EMM-NANO scholarship and performed his master study in KULeuven and Chalmers University with majors in nanoelectronics.

Bring a friend and join us as we enjoy lively conversations, prizes, and brilliant minds. Light refreshments will be available outside the presentation room, first come, first served.
