The Bar is Open – Boulder Creek Brewery

From Winslow, the head brewer:

The bar is back open! We have completed our brewery floor renovation and we’re celebrating with extended happy hour, a fresh batch of Dragon’s Breath IPA, and a very special beer. “The Trapper” is our Brettanomyces conditioned pale ale inspired by our favorite Brett. finished Trappist ale. Herbal hop aromas are complimented by a delicate fruitiness from wild yeast, creating a subtle ale with an unsurpassed depth of flavor.

1st Farmers Market was a complete success

The venders sold out of many of their items before 6pm and most of them will be there next week. All and all the tone was quite joyful. There were seven venders selling their wares, a kids area, and music provided by “Bluzar and Sunday Ensemble”. It was a wonderful afternoon and a great opportunity to support local businesses. Come next week on Saturday from 2pm – 6pm and see it for yourself.
