Tours

Over the past month or so we have been working out plans and schedules to pull off future Brewbound tours. Once we have more info we will post them ASAP!

3 PM – Shipyard Brewing After Allagash everyone piled back onto the bus and we headed to the waterfront to make our final two stops of the day. The first was Shipyard Brewing! Our visit to Shipyard was a bit different than Allagash, instead of a tour of their facility we watched a 15 minute video on their brewery. Little know fact: Did you know that Shipyard bottles a lot more beer than just Shipyard? At their Portland location they also contract brew for Peak Organic, Gritty McDuffs and many more! After the video we [...]

Brewbound Portland finished about 2 weeks ago. The first thing we have to say is thanks to everyone for coming, we had a blast (hope you did too!). We’d also like to thank all of the breweries for having us and would really like to thank Jeff Rowe for his part in the whole thing. The following is a recap of the day’s event with photos and videos: 9:00 AM – Brewbound Headquarters We arrived to our office to pack up our cars full of beers, snacks and music gear. Sure enough the fire alarm [...]

When we first started planning Brew Bound Portland one of the stops we wanted to make was Allagash Brewing. Unfortunately Allagash is closed to tours on the weekend so we ruled it out as a possible visit. Well, that was until our good friend Seth talked to one of the brewers at Allagash! As it turns out Allagash will open up just for Jeff Rowe and friends on March 13th! – Brew Bound ps. The brewery will remain closed to visitors/tours. You will need to be part of Brew Bound to enter the brewery.

This past Saturday Brew Bound attended Beer Advocate’s Extreme Beer Fest 2010 (early session) in Boston, MA. EBF is a platform for bold American brewers to showcase their latest creations and test the palates of their faithful fans. I forgot my camera but here are a few low quality phone shots of some of what we sampled:

After a wonderful conversation with the manager over at Gritty McDuffs last week, I am pleased to announce that Gritty’s has been added to our Brew Bound tour. I thoroughly enjoy their Best Bitter and can’t wait to enjoy a fresh pint at their brew pub on March 13th.

We have already had several ticket request, and as of right now it appears we will have a total of 24 tickets available for sale. This [...]

Hello Bounders, You may be wondering how we came up with such as great idea as a brew bound New England, well to be honest we didn’t think of it! Our good friends through music, Suburban Home Records, pulled off the first tour last fall. Instead of traveling through New England they traveled through the great state of Colorado stopping at Ft. Collins, Denver and Boulder with Chad Price providing the soundtrack. If you would like to gain a feel for what we plan to do on March 13th please watch the following video: We [...]

Hello Fellow Bounders! If you look above you’ll notice our MAIN header image has been updated to include a new stop on our Brew Bound adventure, Shipyard Brewing! That’s right. On March 13th we will not only visit Harpoon Brewery in Boston, MA but we’ll also be stopping at the Shipyard Brewery in Portland, ME! For those of you keeping track at home the plan so far is to have beers #1 and #2 in Boston, travel 109 miles and enjoy beer #3 in Portland. Oh the lengths we’ll travel for fresh New England craft [...]

On March 13th 2010, Brew Bound will embark on its inaugural voyage into the great New England landscape! We’ll be bringing along a good friend through music and beer, Harpoon Brewer, Jeff Rowe. Brew Bound will be attempting to reproduce a little piece of magic that Suburban Home Records and Chad Price were able to pull off last Fall. On their journey through the Colorado country side, they visited countless breweries and enjoyed impromptu live sets on the brew house floors of Odell’s, Great Divide, and Avery Brewery. Brew Bound and friends will meet at [...]
