Headliner Derek Sheen
AUGUST 20, 2021

Seattle based Comedian Derek Sheen is a cuddly mess of insecurities and a gifted, one-of-a-kind storyteller. His ability to mine humor from the dark, humid corners of the human condition has made him a cult favorite of comedy nerds around the globe. He has released four albums on Stand Up! Records, most recently 2020's Macho Caballero. The album reached No. 6 on the iTunes comedy chart, and No. 7 on Amazon's chart. Reviewer Richard Lanoie of The Serious Comedy Site said that Sheen, "more than proves there are still some great, original, and intelligently dark comics out there.”  Sheen also headlines top comedy clubs across the country and tours frequently with Brain Posehn.

Commodore David Farragut, famous for uttering, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead,” served as Mare Island Naval Shipyard’s first commander upon the base’s establishment in 1854. Over the next 150 years—including a Civil War, two World Wars, and the Cold War—Mare Island’s shops and drydocks built over 500 ships, and repaired countless more, including sailboats, and steamships.  In addition to Navy sailors, radiomen, Marines (and a hush-hush CIA presence), Mare Island once employed as many as 44,000 “Yardbirds,” the nickname given to civilian workers on the base.  The renaissance of this historic landmark is well underway. Mare Island Brewing Co.—along with our fellow businesses, workshops, and artisans who now call the historic buildings of Mare Island home—take great pride in the reuse, restoration and preservation of this glorious island and its storied place in American history.
