## About

“Now that’s good beer.” Those are the words Andy “Pugs” Hayes continued to hear as he sampled his home brewed beer to industry “beer guys”, friends and family. Born and raised in central Minnesota, Hayes traced his family genealogy to an early 1700s Scot and Irish settlement in the Shenandoah Valley where his family lived before heading west to resettle in Delano, Minnesota. He has combined his strong Irish family name and his love for quality beer to create a brewery and taproom that caters to beer lovers from all generations and locations.
