content: Oral history interview with Mark Henion, brewmaster, and Anthony "Tony" Lawrence, brewmaster, at Boneyard Beer, in Bend, Oregon. Topics covered include Henion and Lawrence's childhoods in California; their initial encounters with imported beers, such as Samuel Smith's, and craft beers, such as Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, and the start of Henion's homebrewing hobby; their early brewing careers, including at Deschutes Brewery, for Henion; and Lawrence's work as a consultant. Henion and Lawrence also talk about co-founding Boneyard Beer in 2010 and their work to brew clean, balanced, and hoppy ales, drawing inspiration from various regional brewing styles. The name "Boneyard" came from Lawrence's experience sourcing equipment from brewery boneyards to establish their brewery; it also symbolizes the collaborative and resourceful approach that underpins their brewing philosophy. Other topics covered include recipe development at the brewery; their foundation of the brewery with no loans; their decision not to package their beer; a recent collaboration with a Japanese brewery; and the beer culture of the Pacific Northwest.
