The creation of Greg Zielske Jr. (brewer), Jess Zielske, Pat Bixler and the community members of Glade Road. We are part of a ground-up movement that innately fosters a sense of productivity, creativity and collaboration within a shared farm space.

Our purpose is to create fermented beverages from the best ingredients, overflowing with thought and authenticity in taste. We aim to add to an evolving space that community members near and far may gather to connect, dream, celebrate and relax. We believe in fresh food, true brews, and good people.

We have a common love for water! Greg used to drive out to Spring Meadow Rd. up on Salt Pond Mt. for water and lakebed bottles to make home brew. Now we have access to precious ground water from a wonderful well at Glade Road that provides cold, delicious and consistent water.

Our brewery also utilizes green energy through the power of the sun for beer production! The Barn at Glade Road has 113 solar panels that provide 31 kW of solar energy, as well as a solar hot water system for efficient hot water. In total, the panels generate about 41,000 kWhs of energy per year, accounting for approximately 40% of the annual energy usage for the farm. Both systems are graciously provided and maintained by our friends at Baseline Solar! These systems allow us to brew more efficiently with a lighter conscience and cost of energy. Thanks again to Baseline Solar Solutions for their general expertise in “you name it” and of course a fulfilling day job!
