Boundary Bay Wrapped: Our take on Spotify’s Annual Campaign
Spotify users look forward to it every year. They eagerly await its release so they can share the results on social media and enjoy the memes created alongside it. Spotify Wrapped.
In case you haven’t heard of Spotify Wrapped before, every year Spotify releases data presented with fun graphics and bright colors, that display the top songs and artists that each individual has listened to throughout the past year.
We decided to use this “year in review” concept to create Boundary Bay Wrapped, giving our community an inside look at how much beer we produce.
Our Top Beers
Seeing as brewing beer is what we do, we wanted to highlight our top 5 beers overall, as well as the top 5 limited releases that we made throughout the year. Many will not be surprised to see that Cedar Dust took the prize. Named for a mountain-biking trail on Galbraith, Cedar Dust is made with Washington-grown hops and encapsulates the adventurous spirit of the PNW. Our top limited release, 27 West Coast IPA was brewed to celebrate our 27-year anniversary, which happened this past September. 27 encompasses our bold, pioneering past with a bright, innovative future.
If you peek at our tap list throughout the year, it is clear to see that we like our IPAs here at Boundary Bay. And our community loves them too! IPA was our most popular type of beer this year.
Three of our top 5 beers this year were IPAs. What can we say, we love them!
159,300 Gallons of Beer Brewed
With Boundary Bay Wrapped, we wanted to give our community a better idea of how much beer we actually produce. While we serve and sell lots in our taproom, we also distribute our brews to every county in the state of Washington! From January - December of 2022 we brewed 159,300 gallons of beer, over 5,000 barrels.
726,231 Cans of Beer
Many of our brews are canned to be sold throughout the state, in grocery stores, restaurants, and bars all over. This past year we filled 726,231 cans with many different brews. That adds up to a whopping 8,714,774 ounces of beer. Yes, we did the math.
Top 4 Counties
As mentioned above, Boundary Bay beer is distributed to every county in Washington state. Through partnerships with multiple distribution companies, to doing a lot ourselves, we ensure that Washingtonians can enjoy our beer wherever they are.
It makes sense that our top distributed counties are the 4 closest to us, as we self-distribute our brews throughout them. Whatcom was the top county, followed by King, Snohomish, and Skagit.
For beer lovers who live in the greater Bellingham region, we can deliver beer right to your doorstep as part of our Bus Club Beer Subscription program. Every month we’ll deliver a selection of beers, either from a selection of your choosing, or a surprise box of ours! You’ll also receive exclusive Boundary Bay goodies!
