Brewing up a storm: Bond Brothers Beer Company's journey from garage to downtown destination
In the craft brewing universe, there's this romantic tale that often starts with beer-loving folks tinkering around in their garages, whipping up brews they'd love to sip on. Well, that's how the story of Bond Brothers Beer Company begins. It's the story of a group of friends who started as homebrew enthusiasts, entered local and regional competitions, and then decided to take their passion to the next level. Led by the Certified Cicerone Brewmaster Whit Baker, Bond Brothers has now not only realized their dreams but has also become a buzzing downtown hotspot offering a kaleidoscope of craft beers.
Whit Baker sums it up nicely, "You know, the generic story of homebrewers in a garage. However, we tend to promote education internally and have a lot of people on staff. We work on making a varied style of beers."
Craft beer for every palate
What sets Bond Brothers apart is their unyielding commitment to diversity. No matter what kind of beer lover you are, they've got something that will make your taste buds dance with joy. From the bold, rich flavors of Stouts to the hoppy goodness of IPAs, the complexity of Saisons and the mouth-puckering tartness of Sours, Bond Brothers has your back.
Autumn adventures in a glass
With fall around the corner, Bond Brothers is gearing up to take your taste buds on an autumnal journey. Imagine a "Blond Roast" - it's a coffee blond ale with lactose, so it's got that golden look, but it hits you with stout-like flavors. As Halloween approaches, brace yourselves for a pumpkin barrel-aged stout infused with cinnamon, vanilla, ginger and nutmeg. Now that's a treat!
But here's where things get really interesting. They've got something called "Bon Tober Fest." It's like Oktoberfest met a mad scientist, and the result is what they're calling a "fest beer." Intrigued? We are too!
More than just beer: A vibrant experience
Bond Brothers isn't just about beer; it's an experience. They've set up shop in historic downtown Cary, where a revitalization movement is in full swing. Their 9000-square-foot industrial-modern space has become the place to be in the community. It's not just a brewery; it's a vibrant gathering spot for locals and visitors alike.
A place to explore
With 14 unique beers on tap and a barrel sour program that's on fire, there's always something new to try. If you're curious about the magic that happens behind the scenes, hop on one of their monthly guided brewery tours. And the best part? Bond Brothers welcomes everyone, including kids and dogs. It's a family affair!
In the words of Whit Baker, Bond Brothers Beer Company is more than just a brewery; it's a destination. If you're ever in Cary, don't miss out on the Bond Brothers experience, where the art of brewing meets the heart of the community.
