About The Flavor Bomb

For the past two years, the Grand Canyon Brewing Company has quietly been working on an invention that will revolutionize the craft beer industry; they call it the Flavor Bomb—a patent pending, beer conditioning flavor widget—the longer it’s left in a bottle of beer, the better the flavor. The Grand Canyon Brewing Company’s patent-pending Flavor Bomb design packs a punch of flavor and craft beer lovers got their first opportunity to taste the impact this winter when GCB launched their Bomber Bottle series (http://www.hdeagency.com/blog/?p=1186). The Flavor Bomb is available now at local homebrewing stores throughout Arizona as well as online. For more information about the technology behind the Flavor Bomb and to order it for use in homebrewing, visit www.theflavorbomb.com.
