Silo Beer?!?!

Bang Brewing is right next door to the Urban Growler. So close in fact that at first glance you might think it's where the Urban Growler stores it grain. Why? Because it's actually a grain bin. Not a building made to look like a grain bin, no....an actual grain bin! We estimate it was about 35 feet in diameter, so not a huge bin. The couple that owns it are the only employees. They do it all. And they are only open Friday and Saturday evenings, so seeing their place requires a little planning. They had 6 beers on tap - but not your normal IPA, Pilsner and stout...theirs were "different" :-) I had a shorty of their hoppiest lager - "The Boss" - kind of like an IPA, but with a malty finish. Different, but pretty good. Terri had "The Neat" - a "sparkling bitter" brew according to them. It was a very light beer with a lot of hop bitterness. We chatted with a guy quite a while about his electrical contracting business the whole time just looking around the inside of the bin. Everything was pretty much in plain sight. The fermenters and mash tuns lined part of the walls, the grains were stacked on pallets and I'm guessing there was a cooler behind the tap wall. Brewing is a messy job, and This was probably the cleanest, neatest brewery we've visited. It was so neat, it's hard to believe they actually brew here. It looked like it was more "designed" for style rather than a real brewery. So hats off to this couple, they have a great thing going!
