Pups, pints, and border-battle—it doesn’t get much ruff-er than Vikings vs. Packers on Sunday!

We’re bringing you the ultimate Sunday lineup with the game on our brand-new projector, $20 pitchers flowing all game long, and adoptable four-legged MVPs looking for their forever teams.

Sunday Game Plan:

2:00 PM – 4:00 PM: The Bond Between dog adoption event. Come meet your new best friend before the rivalry heats up.

3:25 PM: Kickoff: Grab a $20 pitcher, settle in, and SKOL!

Whether you’re team purple, team green, or just team dog, there’s no better spot to catch the action today!

A whole year of keeping the Twin Cities weird, loud, and... not boring!

Huge happy 1st birthday to Won’t Be Boring Magazine. We’re beyond stoked to sponsor an independent print mag that actually gives a damn about the local basement shows, gallery walls, and DIY spirit that makes the Minneapolis music and arts scene what it is.

To celebrate 365 days off the press, we’re hosting the party at the taproom this Saturday—and we’re doing it right:

🎸 Two killer live sets taking over the space at 6PM
🍻 Cold pints flowing all night
🎟 Zero cover. Totally free.

Come hang with the makers, the musicians, and the scene. Support local print, drink local beer, and let’s raise one to keeping Minneapolis anything but boring.

Consider this our official 'pie on our face' post...

We called the drop date a bit too early, and that’s completely on us. Our Punkin' Pie Autumn Ale isn't quite ready yet!

Huge apologies to anyone who made plans to hit the taproom for a pint today! We’re letting the spices settle, and the flavors finish conditioning. Drop an autumn emoji below, and we'll personally ping you the second the lines are officially cleared.

Missed yesterday’s livestream?

We walked through Boom Island Brewing’s first-half 2026 financials.

Running a brewery is about more than making great beer. It’s managing costs, serving our community, creating memorable experiences, and making smart decisions that keep Boom Island moving forward.

If you want a transparent look behind the scenes, watch the replay here:
