I’ve always enjoyed my visits to Bog Iron Brewing in Norton, excellent beer, great people, fun place to hang out or grab some beers to go, just a quintessential local brewery. A trip to visit had been long overdue for a while, my life is crazy with a demanding job and two young kiddos, so […]

Bog Iron Campout Mild
English mild ales are a style that never really caught on with American beer drinkers, or at least they haven’t yet and I am not holding my breath waiting for that to change. Mild ales are a version of the English brown ale that keeps the malt forward profile but has a lighter body and […]
Bog Iron Drawing a Blank and Fancy French Name
Life is crazy between work and family stuff, so I don’t make as many trips to breweries as I used to. There are a few exceptions, local places that I can sneak into while I’m running other errands or bring the family to for a meal, and the places I stop in Maine of trips North. […]
Bog Iron Devil’s Footprint
I try to focus my reviews on beers that my Boston area readers can find without going incredibly out of their way. I have never been the kind of person to wait in line for hours for a beer release, I’d rather find awesome beer that is readily available. That being said, occasionally I come across a limited […]
Bog Iron Jump Back
Being a parent is awesome and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world, but it cuts into your free time a bit (and by that I mean that my free time is almost non-existent). This just means that I need to be creative if I want to do things like visit breweries. A […]

I am also on a bit of a rye beer kick, the addition of rye malt adds spice and complexity that […]
Bog Iron Middle Child
A couple weeks ago I was participating in a casual Twitter conversation about local beer with some other enthusiasts and someone mentioned drinking a few of Bog Iron Brewing’s selections at a Boston area bar (The Independent in Somerville). I replied that I was excited to see their beer in metro Boston, I’ve been impressed with […]
Bog Iron Stinger IPA
I mentioned last week that my visit to Bog Iron Brewery included an extended tasting and the purchase of a couple growlers. I reviewed their One Down Porter as part of my first post, this second will focus on my other purchase, Stinger IPA. The IPA style is so popular it is almost a requirement […]
Bog Iron One Down Robust Porter
Last week I wrote a post about finding the best brewery in Massachusetts (HERE), mostly as a response to Gary Dzen’s #HotBeerTake declaring that Trillium Brewing was the best brewery in the state. I hoped that my post would be a conversation starter and I would get a number of responses supporting the various breweries I mentioned or […]
