The bomb rocks kennett brewfest

10/8/2023

 
The rain tried to wash out the Kennett Brewfest ...again, but festival goers came prepared to weather the storm. Their reward...hundreds of tasty beers to sample. The Kennett Brewfest has evolved into one of the most inclusive events in the Philly area craft beer culture. Brewers and lovers of craft beer mingle and sample beers from around the mid-Atlantic region. 
The event provides a venue for learning...beer lovers learn about the libations they seek and brewers learn about what they love...and don't. As home brewers, we live in the space between the two. We are students of the craft and lovers of the fruit of the passion of the craft. 
The brewing community has welcomed us with open arms... as family members who share the same passion and speak the same language. Craft beer fans have warmly embraced us as well. They are often surprised to find out the beers we are pouring were brewed by everyday people...just like them.

This year, Scott Birdwell, Vic Orlando, Paul Ward, Kevin Myers and Dave Bill poured for the club at the festival. They poured beer non-stop from start to finish. The rain didn't slow the the steady stream of people eager to belly up to the BOMB booth. Altogether, 9 beers were on tap. A special thanks to the following BOMBers who donated their time and beer to make the event a success!
  • Mike Duprez
  • Adam Ritter
  • Mike Herman
  • Scott Birdwell
  • Paul Ward 
  • Vic Orlando
  • Dave Bill
A special thanks to the Kennett Collaborative who organizes and hosts the event each year. We are grateful to be part of their community.

The bomb brews for the barrel championship

5/22/2023

 
We were wet, damp, brewin' and chillin' all at this year's Keystone Barrel Championship brew day. This year's BOMB Barrel crew is Rich Sparano, Kevin Harkness, Mike Duprez, Mark Gibble, Adam Ritter, Alex Crowe and Dave Bill. Last year's BOMB Barrel Team placed 2nd in what turned out to be stiff competition, but year we are back and ready to compete for the top prize.

The event is comprised of homebrew clubs from around the area. Teams must brew their beer on site and then age it in a Dad's Hat Rye Whiskey barrel provided to the clubs by Keystone Homebrew Supply. Each team then brings a keg of their barrel aged beer to Keystone for the main event the following year. The beer is evaluated by a panel of celebrity judges, who crown the winner of the competition. The BOMB thanks BYOB Homebrew Supplies in Havertown, PA who helped offset our cost of the competition.
