Guests are responsible for all damages to the brewery’s facilities. We require a credit card be kept on file during the day of the event.

Beverages
We take brewing beer seriously here and we would be remiss if we didn’t offer something special for your event. Here are a few options that would need to be ordered at the time of your reservation. Because, well, brewing award-winning beer takes time…
· Options include Beer + Soda, Beer + Soda + Wine, or simply everything we offer including NA Beer, Kombucha, and more
· Want wine? Our distributor partner will allow you to curate a wine list based on the needs of your guest. We suggest an international flair. Chile? Argentina?
· Craft a special keg for your occasion. You get to name it. We brew it to perfection.
· Sodas, seltzers, ciders and more. Need non-alcoholic options? We’ve got them
· Provide your guests a special take home beer – 4 packs or crowlers available
Food
Our focus is on making great beer, so we leave the cooking to the culinary experts. To add appetizers, plated food, or a buffet, we have recommendations to guide you (we need to have a list of preferred vendors). We also schedule food trucks for our Biergarten months in advance and can collaborate to make your event fly with local flair. If we have a food truck on the night of your event, feel free to piggy back. We’ll let the owner know so they can come prepared! Everyday food options include Choplins pub menu, Marco’s Pizza, Thai House, and generally a food truck everyday except Monday.
