A 6th generation farmer decided to change his family farm's offering to something that fit into a pint glass, and thus Farm Yard Ales was born! Here in the middle of nowhere, down a country lane surrounded by fields, lies our brewery and taproom. All our beers are made just a few feet away, and we have a wide range of local gins, wines, spirits and alcohol-free options. We like to keep things different at the taproom with an ever-changing list of food vendors, live music, workshops and other events. We're yet to find a style of beer we don't like, so we brew everything from the weird and wonderful to the more modest and traditional. At the end of the day, we just want to make good beer for good folk. Join us for a pint someday!
