Lord Hobo Brewing Company

We had a great time at our Lobster Bake last week. Twice a year we gather together to celebrate our team’s hard work. We were proud to continue our 'Hobo of The Year' tradition for the fourth year in a row. Our Hobo of The Year is nominated by fellow employees in our organization. They are someone who embodies what it really means to be a Hobo and who contributes to the overall success of our organization day in and day out. This is the highest honor we give as an organization and we couldn't be prouder of the recipient this year, Tom Donaghy. He received the award for his outstanding unwavering work ethic, dedication and attitude. He is embodiment of what it means to be a genuine Hobo. Congratulations, we are proud for you to represent the crown. We also recognized our newly minted one-year Hobo's with a personalized Carhartt vest. We were able to give out 11 vests. This vest not only means that they have contributed to the successes of Lord Hobo over the last year, but we intend for them to be a part of our success long term. We were also excited to celebrate two exceptional employees who have been with us for over 5 years! We wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for all of their dedication and contributions to our team. #employeeappreciation #lordhobobrewing #carharttvest #1year #5years #bostoncraftbeer

Today, we’d like to shine a spotlight on Graham Kelley, who was recently promoted to Cellar Lead! Graham first joined our packaging team four years ago, from the Isle Brewers Guild in Rhode Island. Since then, he’s advanced from the cellar to production, and now, he's leading our cellar team. Outside of the brewhouse, Graham loves a round of golf, working on his home brews, taking in some live music, and visiting some of his favorite local breweries. You can often find him and his wife in our Woburn taproom after work, enjoying a few pints and a pizza. His current go-to is the latest from our Pilsner Of The World series - We Can Do It! We’ve been thrilled to watch Graham’s growth within our team. His dedication and hard work have driven him to achieve his goals at Lord Hobo. The next time you catch Graham in the taproom for a shifty, be sure to raise a glass to him. Cheers to Graham! #promotion #employeeappreciation #employeespotlight

Today, we're giving a big shoutout to Alex Swensen on his promotion to Operations Manager! Alex joined Lord Hobo this last year and has already made a significant impact on our team. From grain to package, he’ll be ensuring that we continue delivering the highest quality beer. Before joining us, Alex began his career at Harpoon Brewery and went on to study at the World Brewing Academy’s Master Brewer program in Chicago, IL, and Gräfelfing, Germany. He’s also served as Head Brewer at Cambridge Brewing Company and managed the Quality Lab at Wachusett Brewing Company. Alex is both a Certified Cicerone and a Doemens Biersommelier. In his free time, you can often find Alex at Fenway Park, enjoying a few 617s as a season ticket holder. It will come as no surprise that 617 Hazy IPA is his go-to Hobo beer, but he loves the innovative special releases our team brews.  Raise a glass to Alex (he's the one in the middle)! We’re lucky to have your dedication and expertise on our team. #employeeappreciation #promotion #employeehighlight

Today marks #nationalhomebrewday and we're thrilled to shine a spotlight on one of our team members at Lord Hobo, Michael Quinlan. Each year, we hold an internal homebrew competition where winners get the chance to brew their winning concoctions on our 10bbl system for release in our taprooms. This past year, Mike clinched the victory with his Kellerbier, set to debut at the end of this month. Mike has been an integral part of the Lord Hobo team for the past year, serving as a brewer/cellarman. From brewing to managing fermentation schedules, his dedication ensures the production of exceptional beer. His journey began nearly a decade ago, tinkering with homebrewing in his parents' garage. Fresh out of college, he dove into the brewing world at Ipswich Ale Brewing, climbing the ranks from the ground up to become a brewer. After, he played a pivotal role in launching Mighty Squirrel's first brick-and-mortar establishment, where his efforts earned them a prestigious gold medal at GABF during his five-year tenure. We're fortunate to have Mike on board at Lord Hobo, where he's spent over a year with us crafting and concocting delicious brews. His biggest achievement here has been the successful operation of our 1bbl system, churning out new and innovative beers exclusive to the taproom. When Mike isn't busy brewing up recipes at Lord Hobo, you'll likely find him at home, either homebrewing in his basement nano brewery or enjoying quality time with his wife and two Golden Retrievers, Winston and Maple. His personal favorite from LH's lineup is Boomsauce, so be sure to raise a pint and toast him next time you visit our Woburn taproom, and thank him for crushing it day in and day out! #employeeappreciation

We had a great time at our Holiday Party Monday! Twice a year we recognize our newly minted one-year Hobo’s with a personalized Carhartt vest. We were able to give out 8 vests, which means not only have they contributed to the successes of Lord Hobo over the past 365 days, but we intend for them to be a part of our success for the long haul. Additionally, we honored three exceptional employees who have been with us for over 5 years! We wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for their dedication and overall 'badassery'.

Supporting local companies in our community is very important to us at Lord Hobo. We're thrilled about our most recent collaboration with Modern Pastry! Thank you for the feature Boston Globe Media 👊 https://lnkd.in/e2Yvd2M9
