Bombs Away lands a truly unique brewing intern from CNM
Retirement is one of those concepts that does not appeal to everyone that reaches that point in life. Sure, some folks are happy to kick back and relax, or travel, or engage in small hobbies to stay busy. Others, like Cathy Racow, would simply go mad if she were to idle away in retirement. That…
Bombs Away makes a big impact in a short time with more flights to come
Bombs Away Beer Company was the last new brewery to open in 2017, but it has quickly made an impact on the local craft scene. I recently visited the brewery in the Southeast Heights to add it to our Look Back/Look Ahead Series. I was lucky enough to sit down with all three owners, John…

A speed tasting that certainly did not bomb
I recently took a peek at the website for Bombs Away Beer Company for clues as to when they would open. I was shocked to find out they already had. Apparently, they just had a soft opening a few days prior. Although I already had plans right after work that day, curiosity and impatience got…
Beer Notes: La Cumbre bears down in Arizona
It was clearly time to clear out the old notebook once again … La Cumbre expands distribution to the west Last year, when I sat down with owner/master brewer Jeff Erway for our Look Back/Look Ahead Series article, he said that Arizona was definitely his next target for out-of-state distribution.
