Heya everyone! Thanks for being patient with us, we’ve been quiet lately because we’ve been hard at work trying to get everything finished so we can open and get you all a beer! Right now we are looking at a late January opening. See you soon!
PS – enjoy some pics of all the hard work
PS – check out some albums of our hard work on our Facebook page

All of our cellar side got moved into their forever homes today, woo! It was definitely a big day at Buzz Bomb Brewing Co and capped off a few days of hard labor getting things ready, laying tile, grouting tile, laying more tile, grouting more tile…
We’re tired but happy and things are getting closer, more updates soon! Photos by Renee Angeles-Gines.
We took some time out of construction to talk to 1821 magazine again and they put together an amazing article as well as some great pictures!
Fans from the very beginning, we checked in with Josh Flanders and Bill Larson of Buzz Bomb Brewing Company to get the latest on renovations at the flagship location in downtown Springfield.

We got to use our new roller door for the first time for the delivery of our brewhouse! We had a bit of trouble when the lift gate on the semi broke. In the down position. Double parked in front of our building. So yeah, a few folks were trapped in their parking spots for awhile but that DIY spirit that fuels all of our projects took over and we got to work.
So, how do you fix this problem?
Check it out!
A little ingenuity…

Time to unpack!
Checking it twice…
The brewhouse is HERE!
The road to our opening is long and winding (did I mention long?) but we keep rolling on. That just got a wee bit easier this week with the installation of our new roller door! We still need to get rid of the ugly window tint on the rest of the front, oh and the red tape trim, but new glass roller door is awesome! We’re well on our way to creating the destination experience that’s been in our heads for months, can’t wait for you all to see it too.
The old front of the building, sure the two doors are nice but the glass wall is boring and that tint has to go
Glass roller door going in!
That tint still has to go on the rest of the front but soooo much better
Lots of good things happened last week, we got all of our designs submitted to the city for permits, we got our federal licensing approval, we got started prepping for the glass roller door on the front of the building (oh yeah, that’s happening!), and we got some good work done on the brewery!
After all that work, we needed a vacation…well that wasn’t going to happen so we did the next best thing and threw a party 😀
Awhile back some friends had requested a private tasting party and boy did we deliver, we pulled out all the stops and put together a german feast alongside eight of our experimental beers. The night was a rousing success, take a look

The tent all lit up
You may remember that we’re doing a lot of work ourselves, such as building a lot of the furniture that is going into the tasting room…well you’re looking at where we learned to do that kind of stuff. All the furniture you see in that tent, including the bar, we made ourselves.
We’re pretty DIY here at Buzz Bomb and we’ve been doing a lot of work ourselves….aside from brewing and working on the taproom did you know that we build our own furniture? How about a sneak peek of our new copper-top bar and a few new tables!
