That’s right, it’s been four amazing years of Sicilian-inspired pizza right here on Portland Street! We’re throwing a little birthday party with a ONE-DAY-ONLY feature pizza on May 30th. What’s it going to be? You’ll have to wait to find out. Until then, save the date and we will see you on Saturday!

Dono and Carson were the first brewers/employees here when we started brewing eight years ago. It’s not easy for them to have to sit in the office all day looking at recipes and order forms, so sometimes they sneak over to the brewery to hassle the production team. It’s mostly harmless. Seriously though, eight years! Time flies when you’re making beer 🍻

The rest of you will have to wait until August to celebrate eight years of Eighty-Eight on August Eighth(save the date)
