## About

Established 1999. Granite City Food & Brewery currently has 18 casual brewpub/restaurants featuring made-from-scratch food and handcrafted Ales and Lagers. Beer is available on draft at the restaurants as well as in 2 liter growlers for take-out. In order to supply all our locations with handcrafted beer we have developed the Fermentus Interuptus system of brewing. This involves brewing the unfermented wort at our Brewhouse in central Iowa, then shipping chilled wort and our proprietary yeasts out to each restaurant for fermentation.
