We are…
A community inspired small-batch brewing company with an 18-year history, one production brewing facility, and two unique taprooms...with a 3rd taproom opening in Fall 2024. We’re past the stage of wanting to be a really big craft brewery because we’ve found real creative freedom at a sweet spot between 4,000 and 6,000 beer-barrels (BBLs) of annual production, with significant volume moving directly to consumers through our taprooms. We’re heading into a very busy part of the year and want to add a solid, full-time member to our team to help us continue creating and sharing great beer experiences!
