To our Franklin Family...

The time is fast approaching for our lease to expire as of January 1st. We're beyond grateful to have been a part of the Grafton community for the past three years, meeting new friends and the many that have become family.

The decision to not renew the lease was not one that was easy for us to make, but after many months of discussions, deliberations and soul searching, we have decided to find a new home and have been working on alternate locations.

We hope that once we establish our new home that you'll continue to support us because if it wasn't for YOU, we wouldn't have been able to make it this far.

Our days and hours will remain the same for now, but we will post as those change.

We love you all and deeply thank you for your many years of support from the garage days of 2013, to our first brick and mortar and through our next venture!

Sending our deepest condolences to Terry and family in the passing of his beloved wife, Kay. We're honored to have known them and it was always a pleasure to have them at the brewery. Truly, two of the kindest, most genuine souls. Their passion for music and bringing joy to others really shined through.
Terry has a lot on his plate with the passing of Kay and bus repairs. Please consider donating if you can. Let's try to give back and show Terry our support! πŸ’ž
