Test Batch Thursday
Something different every week. We tap a brand-new experimental batch, you taste it first, and your feedback helps decide what makes the big tanks.
Every Thursday, 4–9 PM
Fresh ideas. Limited pours. Easy vibes.
Think seasonal twists and one-off flavors you won’t find anywhere else. Rotating options every week, pours that often sell out, and a low-key excuse to try something before anyone else has an opinion about it.
How it works
Taste it. Rate it. Shape what we brew next.
We tap something new
Every Thursday a brand-new small experimental batch goes on — fresh ideas, seasonal twists, one-off flavors you won’t find anywhere else.
You grab a taste
Pours are limited and they often sell out. Come early if you’ve got a curious palate — once it’s gone, it’s gone.
You help us decide
Leave your honest feedback. What you think helps us decide which batches graduate to the big tanks and become part of the lineup.

Once the batch is gone, it's gone.

Test Batch Thursday questions
What is Test Batch Thursday?
Every Thursday, Border Brewing taps a brand-new, small experimental batch — seasonal twists, one-off flavors, and fresh ideas you won’t find anywhere else. Pours are limited, and your feedback helps decide what makes it to the big tanks.
What time does it start?
Test Batch Thursday runs during taproom hours, 4–9 PM every Thursday. Come early — limited pours often sell out.
What kind of beer will be on?
It changes every week. That’s the point. Rotating experimental batches — think seasonal ingredients, new styles, and ideas the brewers want to test before committing to a full run.
Why should I give feedback?
Because it actually matters. The batches that get the best response are the ones that graduate to our big tanks and join the regular lineup. You’re helping pick what Border brews next.
