Our award-winning brewery features a 66 BBL Sprinkman brewhouse (with mash/lauter tun, brew kettle w/ external calandria, whirlpool and automated mash-in water & knock-out temps), a one-of-a-kind 240 BBL sour kettle brewhouse, a 10 BBL pilot brewhouse, over 2,000 BBLs of fermentation & cellar tanks (including many size options from 10bbl, 30bbl, 60bbl, 120bbl, and 240bbl), gentle Chain-vey grain handling, RMS mill, a 100 CPM CFT rotary canning line for filling either 12oz or 16oz cans (upgradeable to 200cpm, with double evacuation, counterpressure filling, date coding, ionized air rinsing, Filtec gamma-ray fill inspector/rejecter and Pak-Tech applicator for 4 & 6-packs), Andritz centrifuge, KHS keg washer/filler, a large beer cooler for short-term storage of beer before shipping and a full-time lab technician & quality control lab with daily sensory panels and lab testing equipment for DO, beer spoilers, etc.

From flexible scheduling, raw materials, batch sizes to packaging, we can work with you to find the optimal arrangement to get you what you need.  Our minimum batches sizes are 10bbl, minimum order sizes are 20bbl (i.e., 2 turns on our 10bbl pilot brewhouse), our minimum annual commitment is 120bbls, and our minimum batch size to avoid additional small-batch fees is 60bbls.
