![]() ![]() Wisely, the first time brewer has surrounded himself with some of the city’s top beer talent in order to hit the ground running. And if it’s not, I’ll throw him in the tank.” So, he’s making one and if it is great, we’ll sell it. I’m not a big stout guy because I think so many of them are lame, but our head brewer Vince has convinced me that he can make a kick-ass one. We’ll have several different IPAs that’ll all be distinctive, we’ll also be rolling out dry and hoppy saisons, and even a stout. Our intention is to have four beers available the day we open and expand from there. “I think the term IPA is tired and overused, so I prefer to think of Lord Hobo as a hop-forward brewery. “We’re going to be brewing lots of beers and lots of different styles, but our initial rollout will primarily be hoppy ales,” Lanigan says. Inspired by a recent trip to Trinity Brewing in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Lord Hobo is experimenting with sour IPAs, something Lanigan says he’s particularly excited about. But there will also be a five-barrel test batch system for brewery-only, small production rarities, and a barrel-aging room for a sour line of beers, some of which will defy the typical bounds of dry hopping. Lanigan says that by the end of 2015, Lord Hobo Brewing will release as many as 10 canned offerings, several of those being India Pale Ales, including its signature product, Boom Sauce. The aptly named Lord Hobo Brewing Company, located at 5 Draper Street in Woburn, will feature a range of beers, all of which will share one common attribute: hops. But that’s the goal when the craft beer maven makes the difficult jump from bar mogul to brewer come this March. In fact, Lanigan will be the first one to tell you that it has never been done before. For a fledgling operation, that’s almost unheard of. After 12 years of building some of the best beer bars in Boston, New York, and Baltimore, the opinionated publican is opening his own brewery in a 47,000 square foot space in Woburn-a massive facility that’s capable of producing 10,000 barrels (315,000 gallons) annually. Nobody could ever fault Lord Hobo owner Daniel Lanigan for lack of ambition. Artwork via Lord Hobo Brewing Company/Facebook ![]()
