At Boscos we brew our own beers because
our customers have expressed a preference
for unique high quality products. Offering
locally brewed beer instead of mass produced
products is a return to the way beer was
brewed and sold in the United States before
prohibition. What makes our beers different?
Freshness:
Beer is food and is best served fresh! After
fermentation, our beers are never warmer
than 38 degrees F. Since they never leave
the premises; Boscos’ Beers are not
subject to the warm temperatures and long
storage times common in the beer distribution
system. Many packaged American beers and
most import beers are, at best, past their
prime or, at worst, stale, by the time they
reach the consumer. Also, the very process
of packaging can be detrimental to the beers
flavor and stability if not executed properly.
Our beers do not have these problems. Boscos’
brews have all the fresh, full flavors that
are meant to be in beer!
Quality Ingredients:
Boscos uses only the best ingredients to
brew our beers. First, our water is filtered
to remove chlorine and any impurities. We
brew with only the finest domestic and imported
two row barley malts. (Many breweries use
less expensive six row malts, cheap grain
adjuncts such as corn and rice, and in extreme
cases, even processed sugars.) We use only
the best hops, primarily grown in the Yakima
Valley in Washington state. We ferment our
seasonal beers using pure culture beer yeast
strains prepared by White Labs, who are
recognized as the best yeast lab in the
United States. Our "Always On Tap"
beers are fermented with our unique "house
yeast" which has been fermenting Boscos
beers since 1992.
No Additives, Preservatives,
Fillers, etc.: Commercial brewers
can add up to 400 additives, preservatives,
foam stabilizers, fillers, etc, to their
beer without having to inform the consumer
that these compounds are present in the
finished product. A list of these additives
included such things as Ammonium Persulfate,
Amyloglucosidase Novo, Dimethylpolysiloxane,
Heptyl Hydroxybenzoate, and Polyvinlypolypyrolidone.
The list goes on and on. Boscos’ Beers
are brewed with water, malt, hops, and yeast,
nothing else!
Variety of Style:
A large majority of American and import
beers are only variations of the same type
of pilsner beer, and are often bland, dull,
and insipid. The world is full of a huge
variety of beer styles, each with its own
unique character and flavor. We offer our
customers real choices when it comes to
beer styles There are always eight beers
on tap. We brew English, German, Irish,
Scottish, and distinctive American styles.
We sometimes even make up something completely
new and different!
Handcrafted:
The methods and techniques we use to brew
Boscos’ Beers are very different from
large "beer factories". We brew
only in small batches so we can offer both
freshness and variety. The term "craft
beer" reflects the care and quality
that goes into every batch!
