Prickly is gone, but we just tapped the last keg of Patch & Stalk, our Strawberry & Rhubarb Sour! Plus, we’re on the last kegs of Straw Hat and Habanero Hat, and down to the last few bottles of Habanero Hat for the year.

Or, visit us at one of our many events this weekend! Steph is at the Forrest Fun Night tonight serving drinks, and will be at Fairbury Speedway doing a beer tasting tomorrow! Or visit Rob at Brews at the Zoo at Miller Park Zoo - tickets are available on their website! He’ll be pouring this year’s batch of Last Red Wolf and the fresh batch of One Small Step! Limited Crowlers of Last Red Wolf available in the Taproom as well.

Yes, we’re open! We’ll be here pouring fresh beers all evening, and will update this post if that changes! No food vendor, so grab some food or bring your own! Don’t forget that we recently upgraded our snack menu, so we’ve got some more good options there as well!

While you’re here, grab some fresh One Small Step cans!

If the first picture was the calm before the storm, the second picture is what you see if you enjoy one too many Double IPA’s!

We hope everyone is safe and sound out there, and we just wanted to remind everyone that Trivia Night is postponed until next Thursday, and that while the Brewery will continue to be open normal hours, Pop-Up Pizza Co. is closed until further notice.

We’re in talks with lots of great food vendors who are going to help us out and serve up deliciousness at the Brewery over the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

And, we hope to see you this weekend at Emancipation!🍻

It’s One Small Step for Beer, one giant leap for your beer fridge. Brewed with hops named Comet and Galaxy, it’s no accident that this beer is packed with aromas and flavors that are otherworldly. And, I’m thinking this is our best batch yet. Super aromatic and lots of texture, but with that classic Emancipation drinkability. And at under 7%, you can still fly your spaceship after you enjoy one!

Grab a 4-pack at the brewery this weekend - Trivia is being moved to next week (6/18), and we’re working on finding food vendors to fill the dates that Pop-Up Pizza was scheduled for, so stay tuned.

We’re thankful this morning for a few things, from Pop-Up Pizza’s crew being safe after a scary incident last night, to a much needed rain here on the farm.

We’re here today from Noon until 10pm, but Pop-Up Pizza will not be open, for the foreseeable future. Feel free to bring your own food or explore our upgraded snack menu!

Tomorrow we welcome Tools Catering and our new expanded hours, 1-7pm on Sundays!

Radler is BACK! It was a big favorite from last year, and with the tapping of Lemon-Grapefruit Soda, we’re now pouring Radlers with a fresh batch of Vermillion River Gold Lager! We developed this Radler recipe with our good friends and world class lager brewers at - we hear they’ll have it back soon as well! Fresh Lemon Juice, Fresh Grapefruit Juice, and cane sugar are the only ingredients!

Pair it with some delicious Pizza from today and Saturday, then some tasty BBQ & Sides by Tools Catering on Sunday!

Don’t forget about our expanded hours on Sunday - now open 1-7pm every Sunday!
