Independent · Family-run since 2014

Beer made with intent.

A 10-barrel brewhouse, a taproom that feels like the corner pub, and twelve rotating lines brewed for the way we actually drink.

01On tapCans + growlers to go

Twelve lines, rotating

01

Year-round

House lager, west-coast IPA, hazy IPA, brown ale, oat stout. The backbone — always on, always fresh.

  • Five permanent lines
  • Lager takes six weeks; we give it six weeks
02

Seasonal

Spring saison, summer pilsner, autumn märzen, winter porter. Brewed once, gone when it's gone.

  • One seasonal per quarter
03

Pilot batches

Two experimental lines off the half-barrel pilot kit. Some graduate to the big kit; most exist for one glorious week.

  • Changes weekly
  • Feedback cards actually get read
04

Guest taps

One regional friend and one international stout, year-round. Good beer isn't a competition.

  • Rotates monthly

Cheers on the terrace after close

Started in a garage. Stayed independent.

Two of us, one all-grain kit, and a garage that smelled permanently of boiling wort. Ten years on, the kit is bigger and the garage is a taproom — but every batch still gets tasted by the people whose names are on the lease. No distribution deals, no shortcuts, no beer we wouldn't drink ourselves.

  • 100% independently owned — no brewing group behind us
  • Spent grain goes to a cattle farm 20 minutes away
  • Tours every Saturday, 1pm + 3pm, $25 with a flight

From the regulars

5 out of 5 stars
Booked the taproom for a 60-person rehearsal dinner. Easy to deal with, generous pours, and the hazy converted my beer-skeptic in-laws.

Common questions

Do you serve food?+

A short kitchen menu — skewers, pretzels, a rotating special — plus a standing invitation to bring your own pizza in. Plates and napkins on the counter.

Kids and dogs?+

Both, until 8pm. There's a crate of board games, a water bowl station, and a strict no-judgment policy on juice-box negotiations.

How do tours work?+

Saturdays at 1pm and 3pm, about 45 minutes, $25 including a four-beer flight. Book through the form — groups of 8+ should email ahead.

Can I buy beer to take home?+

Cans of the year-rounders and whatever seasonal is on, plus growler fills of anything pouring. The pilot batches are taproom-only — that's the point of them.

Private hire?+

The whole taproom on Mondays and Tuesdays, or the mezzanine any night for 30 or fewer. Email events@ and we'll send the one-page rate sheet.

Golden-hour glasses, raised

Saturday tours. $25. Beer included.

Forty-five minutes from grain to glass, ending at the bar with a flight of four.
