Burnt Timber To Celebrate 8th Anniversary
Giving Back
The community is core to our mission.
What started as a hobby brewing beer in port while serving on a Coast Guard cutter has grown into one of Wolfeboro's most well-known gathering spots. “Burnt Timber Brewing & Tavern is celebrating eight years–it’s quite a milestone," said Owner Eddie Michno.
This milestone will be celebrated on Sunday, September 28th, with a full day of festivities that will begin with a morning group run and bike ride, followed by an afternoon of “craft brew, great food, and good company” - traits that have become Burnt Timber's signature. For Michno, however, the milestone represents more than business growth. “I define success by smiles, seeing friends, getting big hugs, and seeing kids having a nice time,” he said. “I also love when I see old classmates from the Coast Guard Academy stop by that I haven't seen in a while.”
While expanding its physical footprint into the space next door, Burnt Timber has maintained its original character with signature beers like "Busty and Dank" remaining on tap since opening day. Burnt Timber also continues to host fundraisers and family-friendly events whose proceeds benefit local nonprofits. “Giving back to the community is core to our mission,” added Michno, who said Burnt Timber started out on “a tiny one-barrel [31 gallon] brewing system”. “An equipment loan from WEDCO enabled us to scale up—and the rest is history.”
