No Cocktail Hour

Dear Lost Souls,

There will be no Cocktail Hour this Friday evening. We invite you, wherever you may be, to join us as we hoist a glass in remembrance of our fallen service women and men, who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our liberty and to defend this fragile democracy. May we honor them, each in our own way, as we dedicate ourselves:

"to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity"

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA - Keep Your Powder Dry

Dear Lost Souls,

   Put your trust in God;
   but mind to keep your powder dry
                         - Oliver Cromwell

While these late season tempests threaten to play havoc with your weekend plans, The Haberdashery remains a warm and dry sanctuary to rest your weary soul at the end of another tiresome week of labor in the coal mines. Please join as as we toast the promise of the season, and do our bit to bring some light, warmth, and music into this tumultuous world.

Many thanks to those of you who donated to support the Sierra Nevada Relief Fund for the Camp Fire. Through your generosity, we raised $60 with a 5 gal keg of home-brew. The Haberdashery Brewing Company will donate all proceeds directly to the fund. Please continue to help support the relief efforts by donating directly to the fund.

Yes, ye Riders of the Storms, Cocktail Hour is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to stumble by between storms en route to your primary shelter, or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,

CAYA - Across the Pond & Back

Dear Lost Souls,

After a short Spring research hiatus across the Pond, The Haberdashery is pleased to reconvene in a glorious celebration of the season. Ever vigilant, we capitalized on a critical mass of Haberdites visiting the Eternal City to celebrate a special Haberdashery birthday under the watchful eye of some of Rome's greatest masterpieces.

Please stop by this evening, as we reconnect and recommit to our weekly communion . . . while hoisting a glass in celebration of a well-appreciated homecoming ... for one and all, near and far!

Yes, ye Citizens of Terra Nobilis, CAYA is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to jet by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary destiny, or to linger indefinitely!

CAYA; Camp Fire Relief Fund - Come Taste HBC's Resilience IPA

Dear Lost Souls,

The Haberdashery Brewing Company is proud to support the Sierra Nevada Relief Fund for the Camp Fire (the costliest natural disaster in 2018), which destroyed 153,336 acres, killed 85 people, and devastated the lives and property of thousands of others in November of 2018. Sierra Nevada Brewing Company launched this generous initiative, sharing their Resilience IPA recipewith brewers large and small around the country, to help raise awareness and critical funds. The devastation hit close to home, as fellow Haberdites Zosha and Warren lost everything in the fire. The Habderdashery is proud of our own version of Sierra Nevada's Resilience IPA, currently on tap for your enjoyment. Please help support the relief efforts by either donating directly to the fund, or by putting a few dollars in the donation jar for each beer that you enjoy at The Haberdashery ... as some of you have already done! Thank you!!!! Once we finish the 5 gallon keg, we will make a lump sum donation to the fund in the name of The Haberdashery.

Yes, my Heroic Haberdites, CAYA is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to swing by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary crusade, or to linger RESILIENTLY!

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA - Take a Stand! ... WeBexit Is Alive and Well!

Dear Lost Souls,

Despite the rather dismal state of our cousins' efforts 'across the pond', the WeBexit movement remains alive and well in the hearts of Haberdites everywhere! Have no doubt! The Ocean View section of West Berkeley will not forget the City of Berkeley's forced annexation of or our neighborhood in 1878, and we will not remain quiet as our sovereign civic rights are ignored! While it is true that the San Pablo Avenue Backstop remains unresolved as a proposed hard border, the passion and determination that was ignited nearly three years ago, in June of 2016, at the beginning of the WeBexit movement, remains vibrant and emboldened.

Yes, my Punchy Proletariates, CAYA is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to march by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary WeBexit demonstrations, or to linger till liberty comes!

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA - Dance Ye Heavenly Bodies, Dance!

Dear Lost Souls,

This week in West Berkeley, at The Haberdashery Celestial Observatory, we celebrate the exquisite interconnected dance of heavenly bodies as they spin and torque across the timeless arch of the universe. For one glorious evening of temporal clarity, nestled comfortably beneath the eclectic glow of low expectations, we will liberate Haberdites near and far from the primitive Newtonian constructs of past, present, and future . . . naive musings, and charming products of our limited humanoid imagination that help us cope with our ephemeral passage aboard this fragile blue spaceship, as it hurtles through the vastness of dark empty space. It is enough to make a Homo sapien thirsty for a handcrafted cocktail!

Yes, my Presumptuous Primates, CAYA is on for this evening. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to wander by for a quickie en route to your evening's primary evolutionary destination, or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros
