Starting in our tour gallery, our Tour Guides will give you a look into our history, a quick rundown of the brewing process, and some samples of our work.
After that, it’s out onto the production floor. Stops include our 50bbl and 200bbl brewhouses, the yeast harvesting plant, packaging lines, the barrel warehouse, and our innovation brewhouse.
Our guides will walk you through our history, the brewing process, and how we continue our tradition of Inspired Brewing. You’ll also be given three samples of our work – from the beer that built the brewery, Amber Ale, to the all-around favorite, Two Hearted. Once you’re done, you’ll truly understand how our beer makes it from grain to glass.
This is where the first batch of beer was brewed in 1985 in a 15-gallon soup pot. On the same campus as the Eccentric Café and General Store, this 15-barrel system saw the first batches of Two Hearted and Oberon and is still in use today.
