CBC is of course turning 19. Owner Phil Bannatyne founded CBC (The oldest craft-brewery in the greater Boston area) in late 1988 and after 6 months of personally piecing together the restaurant, kitchen and brewery with his bare hands (I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m told he was literally by himself for the first 4 months painting, cleaning, fixing, building etc.), he opened the CBC, officially, on the first Friday of May, 1989.<\/p>\n<p>(I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not gonna tell you the part about how CBC actually opened a month earlier on April Fools Day with no beer to serve because Phil would get very angry at me if I told you about that)<\/p>\n<p>But there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s another anniversary this year. Brewmaster Will Meyers is celebrating his 15th year with the company. He started brewing at CBC in 1993 under the tutelage of the original CBC brew crew Darryl Goss and Phil Bannatyne. So he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s given 15 years of his life to CBC and craft beer.\u00c2\u00a0 (That You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll Never Get Back, Will!!! )<\/p>\n<p>So I hope you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll join us to celebrate with these two Craft-Brewery Pioneers.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know much about the beer or food yet. These creative types in the Kitchen and Brewery always like to do things on the fly. I can tell you that there will be a s##t-load of beer. In fact our biggest problem this year is deciding what NOT to serve. (Too bad we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not turning 24)<\/p>\n<p>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be getting together with Will soon to discuss\/arm wrestle over what beers to include and what beers we will have to leave out.<\/p>\n<p>Please feel free to send us your opinions. If there is one beer that you absolutely must see on the beer menu that night, let me know.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as I find out more info I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll let you know.<br \/>\nCheers,<br \/>\nChris<\/p>\n<p>Oh Yeah, P.S.\u00c2\u00a0 here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcSave The Date\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 info.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CBC Anniversary Celebration<br \/>\nNineteen Years\/Nineteen Beers<br \/>\nFriday, May 2nd and Saturday May 3rd 2008<br \/>\n5:00pm-1:00am<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cambridge Brewing Company<br \/>\n1 Kendall Square, Bldg 100<br \/>\nCambridge, MA 02139<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No Cover\/No Tickets<br \/>\nTables and Barstools available on a first come\/first serve basis<br \/>\nCome early\/stay late<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey There, It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s almost time to celebrate CBC\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Birthday!!!
