Of which, nearly 90% was RPM IPA, making it the best-selling draft IPA in all of Beervana. 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.
