Happy Thanksgiving week everyone! We will close the BBB taproom for the day on Thursday and back at it with normal hours the rest of the weekend. Please stop by Sunday as we will tap a couple barrel aged beers for Small Brewery Sunday including Bourbon Barrel Aged Tavern Ale for taproom only pours.
New for you in a 12 ounce can this season is Cabin Heater Double IPA. Cabin Heater is a smooth Double IPA loaded with character driven by caramel malts and Pacific Northwest Hops. Layered Tangerine and Grapefruit rind notes are balanced by a massive malt backbone. This high-octane ale delivers a warming sensation to keep you cozy during the coldest of nights. Enjoy by the fire with friends! 8%
We are missing our fall events. Gatherings near and far are on hold right now, from Oktoberfest to Beericana as well as our own Harvest Festival and what would have been the 10th anniversary of Casktoberfest. We wanted to say thank you for the support over the years at these large events and we appreciate your continued support during this time as we work through this together. At that time, we will welcome the crowds back safely and responsibly. You, taking the time to find our beers at the store or stopping by the taproom to pick up a case or two help keep things going here at the brewery and allows wheels to keep on turning and beer to continue flowing!
Cheers!
