Burnt Timber Brewing & Tavern ‘brewing’ success

Special ‘Brew’

“I’m always thinking of new ways to attract people here.”

2020 has been a challenging year for many area small businesses, which has led Eddie Michno to think creatively at Burnt Timber Brewing & Tavern in Wolfeboro. “I’m always thinking of new ways to attract people here,” said Michno, who opened the tavern part of the business in 2017.

One recent method has been the introduction of ‘Take and Bake’ dinners, some of which feature Burnt Timber Brewing’s in-house bratwurst with pretzel buns and house sauerkraut. “It’s made from pigs raised on our small farm and fed spent beer grains,” said Michno. “We also just rolled out a Family Taco Kit, which has been a great hit.”

In addition to chicken, pulled pork, brisket, ground beef and  impossible crumbles, Family Taco Kit comes with 10 shells, various ‘fixings’ and two choices of sides, which include slaw, apple ginger kimchi, spicy ‘OG’ kimchi, or pickled vegetables.

Recently, Burnt Timber Brewing also released their first kid’s menu, a development Michno said was in response to a demand. “We normally would try to cook kids whatever they wanted based on the ingredients we had on hand, so it was nice to finally put it on paper,” he said. “We want families -- local or passing through -- to know we are thinking of them.”

Michno said he is also testing out a new online food ordering system. “We are working out the kinks, but we are excited at the opportunities it opens up for us to better serve our customers,” he explained.

 Of course, beer specials remain popular, too, as Burnt Timber Brewing features a Covid Jar, a 32-ounce fill of beer in a mason jar and a 32-ounce Fill in which staff will sanitize and refill a customer’s growler. In looking ahead to the winter, Michno said he hopes Burnt Timber Tavern can work with other local businesses “to promote Wolfeboro itself.”

“This is a special place,” he said. “We have the Rail Trail for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. We have other trails and a small ski mountain, too…We need to think creatively this winter and let people know Wolfeboro is still open for business.”
