Northbound Smokehouse & Brewpub opened in September 2012 with much anticipation. A neighborhood, crowd-funded, investment model put this brewpub on the national scene. This was due to the offer of free beer for life, in return for a $1000 investment. Three years later, Northbound is an award-winning brewpub and operates in its humble space with several nods from the City Pages ‘Best Of’ issues, 2015 Kind-of-A-Big-Deal Awards and a Silver Medal from the World Beer Cup, as well as being featured on an episode of ‘Beer Geeks’ and most recently the Piggin’ Out episode of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.

Unlike most brewery taprooms, Northbound is a bonafide full-service brewpub with a restaurant and full bar that includes a great whiskey selection. Northbound continues to grow and evolve with its scratch kitchen, equipped with two industrial smokers and also by consistently pumping out adventurous top-notch beers. Look for the highly anticipated Snow Series Beers this winter, which includes the award-winning Snownami, a Chocolate Raspberry Imperial Stout.
