Description
Early in the 21st century, a vision was born. A dream to unite the land of brews, bring harmony to all who pledged their strength… and make some damn good beer. They who had the vision started the journey and thus began the story… nay… the legend of Bombastic Brewing.
Bombastic Brewing began in 2016. Inspired by the scale of Sierra Nevada, the “gypsy” model of Mikkeller, the business model of early Sam Adams, and the opportunity to make a positive impact in the world through craft beer, Russell Mann sold his retail beer business and set out to create an interesting craft brewery, built in a different model: Partner Brewing.
He took on two co-founders, and being thwarted from Partner Brewing by Johnny Law, Bombastic pivoted and started brewing on a 30, then 50 gallon system in a garage-style facility by the airport. Bombastic would roll open the big garage doors every Saturday to welcome the brave craft beer enthusiasts who showed up and had a great time, buying out every release.

16oz can from Jake. Near black pour with a minimal brown head. Very light roast on the malts, cacao and vanilla is also subdued. Mildly bitter, but smooth. Unfortunately , I had this between 2 Modern Times monsters, so it was hard to rate.

Who knew Idaho had beer? Great gose, and raspberry is my third least-favorite fruit. The razz notes are ever-present but only serve to compliment the classic salty gose taste. Never overripe. No Parliament but I hope Curtis Mayfield will suffice.

16oz can from Craft Brewers. Inky black pour, small bubbly head fades to flat. Aroma dances a fine line between chocolate and chilis. Taste is Mexican chocolate for an instant before the chilis come in and add some heat, tingling the palate. Sweet heat, cinnamon.

16 oz. Aroma is light raspberry, SweeTarts, grain—not too aromatic really. Pours hazy salmon pink with a thin pinkish white head with decent retention. Taste is moderately to highly sour (8/10) with flavors of raspberry, grain and salt. More salty than most gozes, which is a plus for me. Nicely carbonated mouthfeel. Crisp, refreshing and very tasty.

Bottle pour shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Appearance is opaque black with thin cap of light brown head with decent retention and no lacing. Aroma is initially burnt wood; lightly fruit/synthetic plastic as it warms. Taste is burnt wood, mild banana, hint of maple syrup, and roasted coffee. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with frothy texture, soft carbonation, mild alcohol warmth and finish as taste. Overall, subtle aspects of what is advertised but not a decadent Banana Foster experience.

16 oz. can. Aroma shows earthy malt and over roasted grain. The mouthfeel is thick with a somewhat creamy texture. Flavor has a hint of coffee with some molasses. I can’t say I find banana any place. For the amount of money I spent on the can I feel cheated. Buyer beware!
