Please follow for updates – Frank, Owner

Settle Down Easy Brewing is kicking off the year the only way we know how: by breaking resolutions, raising glasses, and leaning hard into the flavors that make winter worth celebrating. Our Annual Resolution Buster is back, and this year it’s bigger, bolder, and more indulgent than ever—pairing fresh, buttery lobster rolls with the highly anticipated release of our 2026 Bourbon Barrel Chocolate Stout.  Save the date Saturday, January 10, 2026 (12 noon – 5pm) – Live Music with Wake the Dead from 4pm – 7pm.

Let’s be honest: by the time January rolls around, most of us are already tired of kale, treadmills, and saying “no” to the things we actually enjoy. The Resolution Buster is our unapologetic answer to that energy. It’s a celebration of comfort, craftsmanship, and community—a reminder that life is meant to be savored, not restricted. If your New Year’s resolution was to drink better beer and eat incredible food, congratulations: you’re still crushing it.

At the heart of the event is food that needs no justification. Fresh lobster rolls, piled high with sweet, tender lobster meat, lightly dressed and tucked into warm, toasted rolls, bring a coastal indulgence that feels both nostalgic and celebratory. They’re rich without being heavy, simple yet luxurious—the kind of food that makes you slow down and enjoy the moment. And when paired with a thoughtfully crafted stout, they become something even more memorable.  Presale special for $25… Day of pricing $30

That pairing is where our 2026 Bourbon Barrel Chocolate Stout ($25 per bottle) takes center stage. This release has been years in the making, resting patiently in bourbon barrels as time worked its magic. The result is a stout layered with deep chocolate richness, notes of vanilla and oak from the barrels, and a warming bourbon character that lingers just long enough to invite the next sip. It’s bold, decadent, and unapologetically smooth—built for winter nights, good conversations, and moments worth toasting.

What makes this beer special isn’t just its flavor, but the philosophy behind it. We brewed it to be savored, not rushed. To be shared, not hoarded. Much like the Resolution Buster itself, it’s about choosing quality over restraint and experience over obligation. The subtle sweetness of the chocolate and the complexity of the barrel aging play beautifully against the richness of the lobster rolls, creating a balance that surprises and delights.

Settle Down Easy Brewing 7th Annual Resolution Buster isn’t about abandoning goals—it’s about redefining them. It’s about resolving to support local, to gather with friends, to try something new, and to treat yourself once in a while. At Settle Down Easy Brewing, we believe great beer has the power to bring people together, and this event captures that spirit perfectly.

So forget the guilt. Skip the dry January lectures. Join us for lobster rolls, raise a glass of Bourbon Barrel Chocolate Stout, and start the year the Settle Down Easy Brewing way—fully flavored, well-aged, and absolutely worth it.
