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 HBS Thick oily black pour with a thin tan ring of bubbles. Subtle notes of cinnamon and sweet dark roast in the aroma. Flavors are similar, with more of the vanilla and chocolate coming through. Smooth and slick...and a lingering trailer of more semi-sweet chocolate and cinnamon spice.

16oz can from Boise Co-op. Near black pour with a filmy beige head. Savory/ sweet aroma, root beer, ginger, orange, not your typical winter spice. Taste is orange, ginger, clove, chocolate. Really, really smooth. I'm enjoying this immensely. My only Christmas wish is for a thicker body on this brew
