The friendliest pirate

There have been rumblings that our most recent iteration of the Swashchuckler label is too scary. This was obviously not our intention, though we do admit that it is difficult for us to contain our badassitude from time to time.

Instead of an all-black silhouetted clown pirate (see Brews page), we’ve added some red to the clown hair/nose — as well as a fearsome white eyepatch. Since this was our first beer (and arguably our best), we’ve decided that it would be okay to sway from the white words/black silhouette standard. We’re not in this to scare anyone.

Pirates were a noble people

From another friend… All pirates had discrete goals for every voyage, decided in a democratic fashion before leaving port. An example:If you need any pirate gear, check out the Valencia store.

The Swashchuckler personified

Check out this clown. He’s totally Monday Night Brewery material.

Thanks to my roommate Scott Stephens for the pirate love. Speaking of Swashchuckler, Scott also told me why pirates wear eye patches. They wear a patch so that they can be “night-vision-ready” when going below deck. They just switch the patch over to the other eye and BAM. They can see in the dark. Keep in mind that Scott is a dirty dirty liar so I have no way of verifying this. But it makes sense.
