Grab a seat at the bar or at a table and watch the brewing happen in front of you. Brewing occurs Tuesday-Saturday each week. Other days of the week we bake crackers and breads using the spent grains. Warning--all beers are intentionally brewed to replicate historical styles and recipes. Due to this, our brews will not match their modern counterparts.
