TGIF Patriots. This time of year, we’re all looking for those last minute deals.

Well Mason Maniaks, we’ve got a deal for you! A two-for-one Friday special for you! Who doesn’t love a deal this time of year?!?

What all is stirring in today’s Brew? Check it out!

🏀 Two-For-One Special
⚽️ Taking the Reins
🤼‍♂️ Doublin’ Down
​⭐ And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Two-For-One Special. You’ve been running around from party to party, store to store, checking list after list.

You deserve a day off.

Take off at lunch. Kick your feet up, maybe even wrap some presents while you cheer on your Patriots.

It all tips off at 12 pm today when the women travel up the road to battle perennial CAA champ Towson, followed by a trip to NOLA for the men, who take on Tulane at 2 pm.

🔺 Taking The Reins. Every Christmas Eve, Santa hops in the sleigh and takes the reins for the night.

These taking of the reins are going to be much longer than a single night as the Mason women’s soccer program has a new leader with the hiring of Head Coach Aaron Brunner.

National Champion? ✅
Native Virginian? ✅

We’ve got our guy.

🔺 Split Down South. Before heading home for a holiday break, the Mason wrestling squad hit the road for a busy Thursday, facing off against Gardner-Webb and Queens University of Charlotte in dual doubleheader action.

The Patriots battled and fought through a tough showdown with GWU, but ultimately fell, 22-15 after the Bulldogs jumped out to a 16-0 lead early.

In the night cap, the Green & Gold bounced back in a major way, sweeping their way to a 53-0 victory over Queens.

Your neighborhood place to enjoy wood-fired pizza, mini burgers,
chef-inspired entrées, craft beer and cocktails. 

🤔 PATRIOT TRIVIA

As we mentioned, Coach Brunner is a native Virginian. He grew up in Prince William County and played on the pitch for C.D. Hylton.
