Roundhead Brewing Company - Cerveza que Reúne - Bringing People Together in Boston's Hyde Park

Roundhead Brewing Company is all about bringing people together in their Hyde Park neighborhood taproom with great food and great beer — cerveza que reúne! Located in a former Westinghouse power station in a diverse area of Boston it continues to generate a fantastic energy as Massachusetts’s first Latino-owned brewery. Founder, Head Brewer and professional chef Luis Espinoza grew up making bread at his family’s bakery in Peru which in many ways is very similar to brewing beer. “When I explained the brewing process to my dad, he told me, “Ahora haces pan liquido.” Now, you make liquid bread.” Roundhead’s lineup of specialty beers from their five barrel system combined with Latin inspired pizzas helped them become named Best Brewery 2023 by Boston Magazine. Orange Vessel is honored to be selected as the Growler que reúne for Roundhead’s freshest “liquid bread” imaginable!

Take home some fresh “liquid bread” with an Orange Vessel. The Trapiche Belgian Dark sounds good.

Orange Vessel Cutting Boards

Introducing our new limited edition cutting boards just in time for the holidays. Hand made from thick, solid Silver Maple each one is unique and hand numbered in the order they were made. Thoroughly oiled, waxed and ready to use, these heavy duty slabs will last a lifetime with proper care. Locally harvested from yard trees that were originally destined for the wood stove, they were given a last minute reprieve by the warden so they could become part of your charcuterie dreams.

These are hand made in small batches just like our signature stoneware growlers.

The contrasting heart wood provides a beautiful two tone appearance with a single solid piece of wood. The large shown above is a big boy and weighs around 9lbs.

When my buddy Don asked if I wanted these for firewood, I just couldn’t muster the strength to send these to the log splitter.

Its nice to know a man with a sawmill, thanks George Chrysler:)

These may actually grow on trees but I am not sure most people realize the amount of energy that goes into making something as simple a cutting board. Look at the amazing grain pattern.

Freshly cut green 2”x12”x12’ are much heavier than you might think. Added a nice new dent to the Chevy loading them…after drying them for entire year we were able to plane, cut, sand and oil them for use.

We have had the Orange Vessel “Brand” around for a couple of years just waiting for the right opportunity, 15secs and presto!

Each Orange Vessel Cutting Board is hand numbered in the order in which they were made.

We made a couple different sizes and they are going fast so get them while they last.

The Dam Brewhouse in Campton NH

This independent craft micro-brewhouse is just north of the Campton dam in Campton NH. Owners Sarah Dreshaj and John Anderson’s goal is to “make the beers you want to drink” and are constantly rotating the beers they have on tap. The Dam Brewhouse has been hard at work expanding the tasting room and brewing capacity mainly due to the high demand for their Freestyle New England Style IPA. They also have a few other fan favorites including Dam Delight Lager and the Mud Puddle Dry Irish Stout. Joining the mug club gets you lots of goodies including this handsome piece of glass.

Fill it up with Freestyle please! Orange Vessel Glass looks Dam good.

If visiting, you can also check out the Blair Bridge, one of the top ten best covered bridges just up the road.

La Cerveceria Astilleros - A Mexican Brewery on the North Vancouver Waterfront

Dos Cervezas, por favor! has been my most used phrase in español since Span 1 but if you are lucky enough to be on the waterfront in the Lower Lonsdale area of North Vancouver, you can practice your delivery of “dos vasos naranjas, por favor” (two orange vessels, please) when you visit La Cerveceria Astilleros (Translation: The Shipyards Brewery). A craft brewery inspired by the flavours of Mexico is one of the newest additions to the Lower Lonsdale Brewery District and is meant to feel as authentic as possible. The seasonal Salted Lime Lager is available in all four seasons:) The brewery is open most days from 12-10PM.

Orange Vessels are muy magnífico. Please follow them on IG

Come for the mountains and stay for the great craft beer and amazing food at Red River Brewing.

The brewery prides itself on having 12 of its beers on tap with one tap always reserved for its house-made root beer. And if you need something a little stronger, Red River also distills its own spirits including Vodka, Rum, Gin, Agave Spirit and Whiskey (coming soon). If you plan to visit, you can hit the slopes right in town at Red River Ski Area and spend the night in Baby Bear.

Local 315 Brewing Company Octoberfest 2020

We stopped by one of our favorite local watering holes, Local 315 Brewing Company for their annual Octoberfest celebration to eat some lobster rolls from Bold Coast Lobster Co. and take down a couple of pints. The farm style brewery, located right outside of Syracuse NY, has a great outside seating area, rotating food trucks and a very impressive menu of beers. I liked the Belgian Triple.

We enjoyed the Märzen style Octoberfest which is available on tap and in cans.

We made a new friend and gifted an Orange Vessel Glass Growler to birthday girl, Melissa, celebrating with her family.

Local 315 Brewing has been one of our longest supporters and they have a really cool pink tractor!

Orange Vessel Beer Growler in Australia

Craft beer is gaining steam Down Under and we couldn’t be more excited to share that we have sold our very first Orange Vessel Beer Growler in Australia. Our new friend and freshly appointed Orange Vessel AU Goodwill Ambassador, Jonathon, went out of his way to get his hands on one of our award winning, Made in the USA growlers and for that we are forever grateful. Jonathon was kind enough to forward on this great photo near his home in Blenheim Beach Jervis Bay New South Wales, one of the most beautiful spots in the world. After the beach, stop by Jervis Bay Brewing Co. or Flamin Galah Brewing Co. to grab some suds. Let us know if you would like to be your country’s Orange Vessel Goodwill Ambassador (there are a few more countries available:).

Our recently appointed Orange Vessel AU Goodwill Ambassador on Blenheim Beach, Jervis Bay, NSW Australia. When asked about his purchase he so eloquently said, “Rob: you make a great growler” , spoken like a true statesman, thank you Jon.

Therapy Brewing, Montoursville Pennsylvania

We could all use a little peace of mind right now and Therapy Brewing in Montoursville, Pennsylvania is serving it up in our 32oz little helper to celebrate their first year anniversary. If you find yourself in the heart of the Keystone State, please stop by and grab some suds to go. They are on the last keg of Gray Fox so get there soon if you like west coast IPA’s, but don’t worry, they have plenty of other great beers lined up.

Anchor Brewing Public Taps

On a short trip to San Francisco in January of 2020 I noticed that Anchor Brewing was not far from where I was staying so I made it a point to stop and I am glad I did. I have always enjoyed Anchor Steam and the brewery has a long and fascinating history. Considered “America’s first and oldest craft brewery,” Anchor is known for its copper kettle brewhouse and great brewery tour which is certainly worth doing but if you just have time for a quick pint, Anchor’s Public Taps have you covered.

Some fun barrel aging going on in the back.

The brewery will open up again soon with a fresh batch of delicious brews which can be taken to go in these sweet custom 32oz Orange Vessel Growlers.

Central Machine Works Beer Hall and Orange Vessel

Austin has always been one of our favorite places to visit in Texas and Central Machine Works Beer Hall gives everyone a new reason to make the journey. Once a machine shop that made aircraft parts during WW2… and now a super cool beer hall open 7 days a week, they make everything in small batches and age their beers for up to four months for optimal flavor. The CMW Lager “combines 100% North American Pilsner malt with flaked maize from the heartland" and is a highly drinkable “Macro Craft” that packs a refreshing punch… Even better it can be had in our favorite little juice jugs.

Crane's Castle Brewing + Orange Vessel in Bremerton Washington

Dan and Megan Kranenburg opened Crane’s Castle Brewing in Bremerton, Washington in 2018. Crane’s Castle is a direct translation of their German last name and they have long standing roots in brewing as Dan’s great grandfather Otto (their pilsner is a tribute to him) founded one of the first bottling operations in San Francisco in the late 1800’s. Crane’s Castle specializes in brewing Lagers even if they “take longer” and are a bit “more fussy.” The tap room is modeled after European beer halls and is kid friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you are in Kitsap County. They are open 7 days a week.

Crane’s Castle has one of our favorite logos and it looks great on favorite color growler!

Raquette River Brewing & Orange Vessel, Tupper Lake NY

If you are traveling to the Adirondacks of New York State you must stop at Raquette River Brewing in Tupper Lake. They have an amazing selection of their own drafts (I recommend the Raquette River Extra Stout) as well as some great guest taps. They recently completed renovations on the new tap room and feature live music and great food, including some of the best wood fired pizza in the ADKs. Oh and they also have some killer swag, including an impressive line up of Orange Vessels.

Raquette River Brewing has an impressive array of swag including these handsome juice jugs!

This is the original brew house and is still where all the magic happens.

The newly renovated tap room feels like an Adirondack Lodge and is usually jam packed. I stopped at 11am so they just opened (it’s noon somewhere).
