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 Brewers Haven. Clear golden pour, fizzy white head. Aroma brings light lime notes and biscuity malts. While the lime is light, it is noticable early in the taste, a long with bready malts. Salt is barely there but does add a noticeable dryness to the brew. Fast finish with only a smidge of lime.

Can from Tavour: pours black with beige head. Aroma is dark fruit, some vanilla, earthy, not much chocolate. Significantly better than other Bombastic stouts, but still on the lower end of the style. Muddled a bit.
