The leaves are turning fast! Supposed to be a really good year for foliage.

The first homegrown hop crop has been brewed into a Blasty Amber. It’s about halfway done with its fermentation and could be on next weekend. That’s rushing it a bit though.

We’ve also got a Harvest Moon Pumpkin Saison cranking away in a fermenter. Some brewing sessions go really smoothly and others are, well, haunted. In the spirit of the season, this one was haunted. Boilovers, high gravities, slow (darn near stuck) sparge, and so on and so on. Despite all of that I have high hopes.

Next up are the Autumn Olive sour and a Fort Mountain DIPA.

Crook & Scythe Farm still has loads of produce for sale and a really spiffy new sign courtesy of the multi-talented Chris Murphy. Stop in and check out the bounty of the season!

Thanks for reading!

We are thrilled and more than a bit gobsmacked to have been recognized by Yankee Magazine! Where this came from we have no idea, but we are grateful!

Thanks to everyone, from our mug club members to our one-time visitors to our fellow NH brewers, who has been here and gone out to spread the word and say nice things about what we do.

A special thanks to Christine, Jed, Alex, Tom, and The Blasty House Band for being the great folks who work (and play) to make your visit memorable!

Blasty Bough named a “Best of NH” 2020!

Thank you, New Hampshire Magazine for recognizing Blasty Bough as the Best Small Listening Room in New Hampshire! And thank you, Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki, for this nomination:

"Blasty Bough Brewing Company in Epsom is far more than just a nanobrewery. Yes, you can enjoy craft beer in the cozy and beautiful pub. Yes, you can order delicious homemade food and chat with locals and the friendly staff at this family-run business. Yes, it happens to be located in a historic farmhouse atop a hill with gorgeous views. But perhaps the greatest treasure of Blasty Bough lies upstairs above the pub, where they host their BlastyTrad Concert Series. In this small, acoustically excellent room, carefully chosen folk acts — from local favorites to international tours — perform unplugged shows for intimate audiences. For performers and listeners alike, it is the ideal environment for a fulfilling and memorable concert experience."

Thanks to the wonderful musicians we have hosted over the years and to all of YOU for supporting Blasty Bough and the BlastyTrad Concert Series!

OUR STORY

The Blasty Bough Brewing Company is a farm-to-kettle brewery located on McClary Hill Farm in Epsom, New Hampshire – on the same hilltop where Scots-Irish immigrants first operated a tavern decades before the American Revolution. We make all our beer here on the farm, celebrating local flavors, having fun with local characters, and adding our own Blasty twist to traditional brewing styles.

A “Blasty Bough” is a branch of pine, turned amber by the sun, and used to start a fire. Blasty boughs kindle the flames that warm the winters, cook our food, and boil the wort to make our beer.

A Blasty Bough kindles something new: new fires, new traditions, new friendships. (Plus, we just think it's wicked fun to say out loud.)
Come on over, Have a Blasty - and kindle something all your own.

Since December of 2023, Blasty Bough Brewing Co. has been a proud member of the New Hampshire Sustainable Draft Beverage Program.

The New Hampshire Sustainable Craft Beverage Program (NHSCB) is a voluntary recognition and technical assistance program managed by the NHDES Pollution Prevention Program for environmental leaders in the craft beverage industry. This program, run in partnership with the New Hampshire Brewers Association , recognizes craft beverage businesses that implement pollution prevention strategies that reduce waste at the source and consciously manage resources and outputs to reduce a business’s overall environmental footprint.
