The 10-year anniversary continues by honoring what The 10-year anniversary continues by honoring what built up our brewing interest long ago - the homebrew community!
Whether that be local homebrew clubs or online forums, the welcoming homebrewing community has always been a source of inspiration even as we moved on to a commercial brewing focus. 
We teamed up with the folks at r/homebrewing to start devising a custom blend to be released later this fall. Head to the link in bio to cast your updoots for your favorite idea!
Voting will cease Friday!

Unsure what to brew with the deluge of mixed cultu Unsure what to brew with the deluge of mixed culture magic in Bootleg's 10th Anniversary Vol. 2: Temple of Funk?
When beer takes a long time to develop, as with lambic-style brewing, it's incredibly rewarding to split batches to get two expressions from the same brew day. 
Try this base recipe for 5 gallons (19L) -- or double the grist for 10 gallons -- and try both our OG Sour Solera Blend (Summer 2015) and limited release Milk the Funk 2023 blend!

Our 10-year Anniversary Celebration continues with Our 10-year Anniversary Celebration continues with the release of Vol. 2 of our summer seasonal BETA cultures: Temple of Funk
FUNK WEAPON 4 BETA!
It’s finally happened. We’ve added to the legendary Bootleg funk arsenal with this pure Brett culture that’s just dripping with dark cherry and pear esters. 
SOUR SOLERA BLEND SUMMER 2015!
The first-ever-released Sour Solera blend is back from the dead. Featuring aggressive lemon-lime acidity with hints of saison when young, this culture will develop over time with the cacophony of Brett inside. 
AMERICA’S FINEST FUNK - MTF BLEND 2023!
Our annual bottle dreg collection from the Milk the Funk meetup at HomebrewCon is always a crowd pleaser. It’s hard to imagine finding more varied bugs in a single culture. 
So dust off your high mash temps and adjunct heavy grain bills. Leave the un-aged hops at home. It’s time for a funky adventure into parts unknown.
