Gerk's Brew Pub

Gerk's Brew Pub Homebrewing Emporium Gerk's Brew Pub is a private brew house (aka my garage) run by Steve & Tracy Gehrke. We like to experiment with new brews.

Really anything that strikes our fancy on brew day. To all our friends, if we post that we are brewing, consider it an open invitation to join us for a brew or two.

It’s coming up to the new year, and this is usually the time of year when we all pledge to make a new year’s resolution, or have various newspapers and magazine dietitians wave their fingers and admonish us about the numerous dangers to our health. Fairly sensible when you’ve probably been overdoing...

I'll drink to that!

I'll drink to that!

Easter is over, and Memorial Day is still several weeks off, so why not celebrate the beverage that makes everyone more attractive?
