Can we get this into the CC to celebrate yet another club member
entering the business?

I remembered the other day that you asked for a little e-mail describing
the brewery and my job that caused me to move to MA. Sorry I forgot to do
this sooner.

The company is Lord Hobo Brewing Co in Woburn MA. They just opened to
the public this month (on my first day) and tomorrow (7/1) they will be
distributing their beer outside the taproom for the first time. My job is a
cellarman/canning line maintenance tech/packaging tech. I won’t be brewing
yet, just helping haul bags of grain and maybe opening a valve or two. I’ll
primarily be transferring between tanks, cleaning said tanks, setting up
canning runs, and helping package in both cans and kegs. The brewery uses a
Wild Goose canning line that puts out ~30 cans per minute. We have a 40BBL
brewing system with five 80BBL fermenters and two 80BBL brite tanks. The
beers on tap so far are all “Hoppy Ales” (not quite IPAs despite the
listing on things like BeerAdvocate, Rate Beer, and UnTapped) called Ball
and Biscuit, Steal This Can, Consolation Prize, and Boom Sauce. The latter
is a blend of the other three rather than being a recipe of its own. The
plan is to start a sour program in one portion of the warehouse as well as
various non-sour barrel projects. The main warehouse will be expanded to
the extent that it can also be used for contract brewing after maximizing
production for ourselves. Right now, the brew system, 5 fermenters, and 2
brites take up an insignificant portion of the main warehouse, so there’s a
ton of room to expand. The canning line is also probably going to be
switched out for something more robust very quickly. It’s been amazing so
far, especially getting in on the ground floor of such a large production
facility and seeing what it takes to start something like this up.

Next time I’m around Troy, I’ll try to swing by with some of their beers
for you and any club members that might want to try them out without
traveling all the way to Boston-area, they don’t let me leave without
taking a case, so I have plenty to spare.
