With "Brew 2" online, Boneyard made good on its goal to brew 30,000 barrels of beer (that's nearly seven and a half million pints!) annually. Oregonians simply demanded more RPM.īack then, Boneyard ran a radio ad that declared, "No burgers, just beer." You had to suck in your beer gut when squeezing between the 18 fermentation tanks crammed into the former garage. The first time I met Lawrence was a full decade ago as Boneyard was preparing to expand from its original, and still-in-use brewhouse on Lake Street into its second brewhouse on Plateau Court. The fact that RPM remains a cult favorite is a marvel. It didn't take too long for Boneyard to have a huge impact on modern IPAs when it canceled the then-requisite crystal malt Northwest IPAs used to indicate a heavy presence of caramel malts, but most IPAs today are built on all pale or pilsner malts for a crisper bite that let our beloved PNW hops shine. I still pine for Boneyard's killer black ale, Black 13, which should've been brought back from the dead (it was only in steady production from 2012 to 2017) as a fitting pint to hoist in celebration on Saturday, May 6. Craft beer styles fall in and out of fashion. There was no RPM (or any IPA) when it opened. Born in 2010, Boneyard is now Bend's sixth-oldest brewery. ![]()
