## About

Just as the Jack Pine is one of the first trees to take root after a forest fire, our brewery was the first to be established in the Brainerd Lakes Area since prohibition.
Our small startup began in 2012 by making 100 gallons at a time on College Drive in Baxter.  Then, due to a popular lineup and loyal customers, we quickly grew!
Our new brewery and taproom was built in 2017 and offers pints, flights, and growlers to go while providing a rental room and outdoor patio.  Visit our taproom or find our award-winning beers at a variety of bars and restaurants in the Brainerd Lakes Area and beyond.
