Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 1994
Beginning in 1994 with a 7 barrel converted dairy system, we set and accomplished the goal of providing unique traditional ales & lagers available through OHB. Quickly we outgrew that system.
In 1997, we began the renovation of an 1880 Historic Landmark building, which now houses our brewing facilities, a 25-barrel Price Schonstrom brew house.

Bottle shared in HW - sourced from Master of Malt. Pours clear deep brown with a small, creamy tan head. Very odd beer, some vague mint, berries, earth. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Scattered finish. Doesn’t taste good at all. Not pleasant.
