Close your eyes and remember the last time you felt truly free, suspended in a moment independent of past and future. Evoke a memory, no matter how faded, when the only pressing matters were how hard you were laughing, the cold beer expertly poured just for you, or the songs on the play list. Maybe it’s a road trip you took in college, a lawn chair with a lake view, or finally seeing your favorite band live on a warm summer’s night. On Tour Brewing Company celebrates life’s understated, casually significant, yet fleeting moments. Each carefully selected element of On...
Jason Snyder and Emily Causey landed in Marion, NC, and found themselves 25 miles from a brewery, which was a little out of the ordinary in the Asheville area of Western North Carolina. Their solution to the problem was to open a brewery of their own. Geologist Jason upgraded from his 10 gallon homebrew system to a 4bbl brew system. Mica Town Brewing Company opened its doors on December 31, 2017 in Downtown Marion, NC. At Mica Town Brewing, we honor the heritage of Appalachian mining by carefully crafting beer inspired by the geology and hard working people of Western...
In a desperate attempt to flee the rat-race of corporate life and the crowds of the big city, the idea of this small brewery/taproom was conceived, like all good ideas are; on a friends couch after 2-10 too many beers after skiing all day. Most of these ideas are discarded in the morning while driving back to Denver, this one stuck and 6 months later we started construction. The result was Hideaway Park Brewery out of Winter Park Colorado founded by The Man The Myth Andy Brumenschenkel. During the winter, there is nothing better than having a one or multiple beers...
BIG aLICe BREWING Co. began production in January 2013. On their original 10-gallon pilot system, they brewed and exclusively bottled flavor-forward, one-off batches, which were sold on-premises through their CSB membership program. Founders Kyle Hurst and Scott Berger connected with local CSA (Community Shared Agriculture) and Food Co-ops to find local, fresh, and organic ingredients with the idea of preserving seasonal flavors through beer. Since 2013, they have opened a taproom for onsite drinking, expanded their brewing capacity, distribute throughout the five boroughs, Long Island, greater New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and will be opening a second barrel aging...
Founded in 2013, Zaftig is the only craft brewery in Worthington, Ohio. They are unique in that they focus on high gravity, full bodied ales. Full body, high gravity means a big mouth feel and a generally higher alcohol by volume percentage. Zaftig is a German Yiddish word meaning "(of a woman) having a full, rounded figure; plump". The original German is saftig - or "juicy". They hold true to this by making every beer evoke a taste or mouthfeel of voluptuousness and fullness - even in the lighter beer. Zaftig prides themselves on using locally-sourced or Ohio-grown ingredients, and giving back to...
Suds Duds Society always tries to support local homebrew clubs affiliated with the highlighted brewery of the month. Beer Can Island Brewers was chosen to be the highlighted homebrew club because they are good friends with the KJ & Jillian of Leaven Brewing. Jay Patel, one of the Founding Fathers of BCIB, was invited and attended the very first Suds Duds Social at Leaven Brewing. We set up a tab for the homebrew club to enjoy some beer and hold a loose meeting on a Saturday night. One of many topics discussed was the beer brewed before the event; a...
