Franconia, New Hampshire, United States
We are about more than beer and business, we are lifetime friends. Iron Furnace Brewing was founded by four north country guys that grew up less than a half mile from each other. We stayed close through college, were roommates afterwards and have remained tight-knit since. The brewery has been a dream since the early days but took some time to materialize. 2017 was the year it all came together! We were fortunate to find and fall in love with the Whitney building on Main Street and now call it home! We are eternally grateful to the community and our friends and family for the support. We are community focused and loyal to our roots, but still not afraid of change and experimentation. Our taproom will be a place to gather, for families and friends both old and new. Inviting, lively, comfortable and engaging is the environment that we want to produce. Our beers tend to be hop forward but we still have plenty of variety. Don’t be afraid to try something new and come explore with us! Jason, Jeremy, Josh and Tim
