The end of June is going to be great, there’s a lot going on in downtown Springfield and at Buzz Bomb!

First we have the DSI Upper Story Tour event,

Have you ever wondered what’s going on upstairs in that rad historic Downtown building…but didn’t have an “IN”? Now is your chance to get an insider’s look at several unique Downtown properties during the 18th Annual Upper Story Tour!

Buzz Bomb is on the tour AND will be hosting the reception from 7:30-10pm, check out the event!

THEN, the next day we have our own Customer Appreciation Day event to thank you for being part of our success for far, THANK YOU!

This is a BIG thank you for the support from all of YOU. Join us for a celebration Friday June 29th, drink some great beer and enjoy complimentary food from Tacology 101

We have an event page, with links to the facebook event!

See you soon!

Thanks to the Springfield Business Journal for the write-up on our expansion!

Buzz Bomb Brewing Co. buys second brewery

The BIG news – Buzz Bomb is growing! We just purchased another brewery that will become a second production facility.

Once we get the brewery online (it will take a few months, licensing, etc) we will finally be able to be open 5+ days a week downtown AND distribute to local bars/stores and yes growler fills too!

Our expectation was that we would need to do this if we were as successful as we hoped to be…however we thought maybe a year or two down the road, not a few months!

…is coming soon. Stay tuned!!!

We had a lot of fun down at the brewery in May…between Cinco de Mayo, the local Fatass 5k race, the kick-off of the downtown farmers market (which is right in front of our building!), art shows, festivals…it’s been a heck of a month!

We had a few interesting visitors as well, our first feline customer showed up as well as the ghost of the Macho Man. Come on down and see us soon, you never know what you’ll find!

Good news everyone! We will be open on THURSDAYS from 3pm-10pm starting on 5/17!

Big thanks to the Mayor’s Office for putting together this video of our ribbon cutting!

We’re tapping our Mexican chocolate stout this Saturday at 3pm! Come celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Buzz Bomb!

The Springfield Business Journal wrote a pretty in-depth article on the state of Craft Beer in central Illinois and across the county, definitely a good read!

We were interviewed along with other local breweries and brew pubs, check it out!
