Our company name is Ardent Spirits, Inc. This name comes from the original property deeds establishing the formation of Collinsville in 1837. Those first property deeds included a clause requiring any land owner who produced or sold “ardent spirits” to forfeit their land. “Ardent Spirits” will be the brand of our craft spirits (whiskey, gin, rum and a few surprises). We needed to choose a different brand name for our beers. Since we always intended to celebrate the history of our location as the former home of the Collinsville Herald for 80+ years, Old Herald Brewing Co. ™ seemed perfect! This is the name of our restaurant as well. ## What they brew - Other — 22% of the beers we track - Pale Ale — 18% of the beers we track - Stout / Porter — 18% of the beers we track - IPA — 16% of the beers we track - Saison — 10% of the beers we track - Pale Lager — 9% of the beers we track - Amber Ale — 7% of the beers we track ## Find them - Address: 115 East Clay Street, Collinsville, Illinois, United States - Coordinates: 38.6713918, -89.986116 - Website: http://oldheraldbrewing.com/ ## Breweries nearby - [Peel Brewing Co](https://finding.beer/brewery/peel-brewing-co-4900.md) — 3.51, Poor — O'Fallon, Illinois — 6.8 mi away - [Staatliches Hofbräuhaus München](https://finding.beer/brewery/staatliches-hofbrauhaus-munchen-4583.md) — 3.57, Poor — Belleville, Illinois — 10 mi away - [Shoehorn Brewing](https://finding.beer/brewery/shoehorn-brewing-33045.md) — 3.95, Fine — Belleville, Illinois — 11 mi away - [Latrobe Brewing Co.](https://finding.beer/brewery/latrobe-brewing-co-32488.md) — 2.21, Limited — St. Louis, Missouri — 12 mi away - [Iron Hops Brewing](https://finding.beer/brewery/iron-hops-brewing-33735.md) — 2.89, Limited — St. Louis, Missouri — 12 mi away - [4 Hands Brewing Company](https://finding.beer/brewery/4-hands-brewing-company-2774.md) — 3.92, Fine — St. Louis, Missouri — 12 mi away - [Blue Jay Brewing Company](https://finding.beer/brewery/blue-jay-brewing-company-29932.md) — 4.28, Great — St. Louis, Missouri — 13 mi away - [Square One Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/square-one-brewery-4691.md) — 3.50, Poor — St. Louis, Missouri — 13 mi away ## Rankings this brewery appears in - [Best breweries in St. Louis, Missouri](https://finding.beer/breweries/united-states/missouri/st-louis.md) - [Best breweries in Illinois](https://finding.beer/breweries/united-states/illinois.md) - [Best breweries in United States](https://finding.beer/breweries/united-states.md) --- Finding Beer scores breweries on the beer they brew rather than on the venue.
