They say April showers bring May flowers. But I say April means baseball is back! Patios are open again and beer needs to be consumed in spring’s full glory, outside. The stouts we brewed for those long cold days and nights will start to disappear, and lighter, hoppier, and seasonal brews will start showing up at our taproom and on the shelves at liquor stores. For those who have been stopping by for growlers and pints, a few of your favorites will be gracing our tap lines soon. Tile Factory and this year’s Tipped Cow will be back on April… Read more

March Brewer’s Log: St. Patrick’s Day
February 28, 2021
Oh, March! The greenest month of the year. Not in the “fresh, newly grown grass” kind of way, but in an “Irish pride” sense! Many of us like to claim we’ve got a little Irish blood in us. . Well, 23andMe says I’m about 1.8% Irish or British. Yes!
We will be open on St. Patrick’s Day to celebrate and consume frothy beverages. It seems like years ago that we shuttered our doors for last year’s celebration, but really it’s only been 365 days. Having the ability to be open is huge news for us. And, it will be our third year celebrating our home in downtown… Read more
February Brewer’s Log: Pulling Copper
February 4, 2021
February. The cold weather is setting in for that final push of winter. Then greener grass will be just around the corner. Things might also be getting greener as St. Patrick’s Day is looming. If you didn’t already know, we are pretty busy this time of year, brewing for that oh-so-special day. This month, I’m starting it off with a new beer that’s exclusive to the taproom. It packs its punches with all the other IPAs. I have brewed it with a little less alcohol, so finishing off the growler in one fell swoop won’t ruin your next morning.
