    Stonehome Brewing Co. Watford City

    Watford City, North Dakota, United States

    โ€˜Hopped up on Homegrownโ€™ is more than Stonehome Brewing Co.โ€™s slogan; itโ€™s the blueprint of the North Dakota community-immersed pub that opened its doors in 2016 and built out the craft brewery the following spring of 2017. Norwegian for โ€œa homestead or farm made of stone,โ€ the breweryโ€™s name โ€œStonehomeโ€ also translates to the Old Norse surname, Stenehjem -- one of the two local Midwestern families who brought the idea to life. Stonehome was dreamed up and designed to show people what craft beer can be, not what craft beer is. Stonehome Brewing Co. is the every personโ€™s microbrewery. Our focus is creating approachable, clean yet innovative and above all, high-quality craft beer for all.
