My latest article for The Bulletin dropped on Sunday, in which I visit the newish Boss Rambler Beer Club and try several of the beers (finally).

Boss Rambler Beer Club quietly appeared on the scene last year, founded by alums of the Central Oregon brewing community. Matt ­Molletta and Jacob Bansmer met while working at Crux Fermentation Project, and Molletta’s wife, Kate, worked at Boneyard Beer in marketing before launching her own business, Swig Rig, a mobile bar service.

The trio (along with Molletta’s sister and brother in-law, Karen and Mike Altman) launched the brewery without an actual operating brewery of its own — yet. Bansmer brews the beers at Silver Moon Brewing in downtown Bend, an arrangement Silver Moon has offered to other breweries in the past when it has excess capacity.

“Typically we brew two to four times a month, depending on style and capacity,” Matt Molletta said via email.

On a recent visit to the Galveston pub, I sampled four of the beers on tap: two lagers, and two hazy New England-style IPAs.

Hazy IPAs are the prevalent style so far, though I enjoyed the Cold Beer Patio Lager quite a bit. Molletta told me, “We brew beers that excite us and that we think our customers will be stoked on,” and that’s working for them so far. The westside taphouse is also a prime location, with Sunriver Brewing’s pub next door and 10 Barrel Brewing a block west, and I predict it’s going to be a popular spot during the summer on the patio.
