## About

Who knew naming a brewery would be a challenge? We were in the process of restoring our nearly century old building for months before the four of us could finally sit together long enough to come up with a name. After a few of our experimental brews, we began reminiscing about “the good old days”. Times when we would get together with friends and have a few beverages. Through this conversation we realized that each of us had a common gathering place. The place was Hoodletown! For those of you who aren’t familiar with the concept, it was an area outside of the town, basically an open field, where we would meet up with friends from the surrounding areas. You knew if you went to Hoodletown, you’d run into someone that you knew.
To us, Hoodletown Brewing is all about community and the gathering of people together in a relaxed atmosphere. It’s about fun and good times. Sharing stories of the past and making memories for the future.
