Stewards of the Land Brewery LLC

03/18/2026

Last week we teased about something growing on n the horizon. We would like to announce that our farmer and his family will be getting their hands dirty this year, tilling and working the soil to produce some great treats for you. This new path will be cultivating the true nature of what Stewards view of working with nature and the land is, yet its own venture. Future posts will announce to help share the progress and work of our farming family. As a side note, we have had a number of people ask if we would ever get back into brewing. Taking a hiatus, we have a few friends in the industry that have offered to help bring our sour series to life again. Keep your eyes open on future announcements. This will not be a collaboration, but more of passing the torch to those who wish to keep some ideas alive. Cheers.

Happy Father's Day to all the men out there that take the time, to teach, to protect, to show us morals, and to take care of their family and children. A father can take the shape of many forms, even not blood, but all those life lessons and morals we can learn from these, teachers, can impact us for the rest of our lives. As we celebrate dad today, and those fathers and grandfathers who may no longer be present with us, we raise a cold glass to you all, and thank you for everything.

As a barn swallow swoops to protect its young from predators, hunts for food, and takes care of the land. An animal that watches and protects with family morals.

Good Afternoon,

It is with a heavy heart that we must make the announcement that Stewards will not be reopening the doors come this Spring.

Alex has taken a step back from the farm, to work elsewhere.

Thank you for all the great times and memories at Stewards.

Mug members will receive an email on details for their stone mug pick up date and time. All questions can be sent to [email protected]

Cheers

It is important to support local. Whether it be local farms, (actual farms), or local small businesses.

These businesses are what keep our community going throughout the years. We understand that some farmers and small businesses might have raised their prices in the past few months, (we have kept our prices the same since two years ago), we all must realize that sources of ingredients and raw products, like eggs, are going through a nightmare right now. The 10's of millions of chickens that have been slaughtered nation wide due to the outbreak has had a serve impact on egg supplies.

Nationwide, raw materials and resources for farms have been sky rocketing, essentially effecting the farmers, the stores and businesses that then supply the farm products to the consumer, and then finally to the consumer, (yourselves), or the businesses that take those products to make further products to sell to the consumer.

We all stand together. We all support our communities, and the families of our communities. Thank you all for supporting your local businesses and farms.

A Trader Joe’s spokesperson said the limit aims to ensure more customers are able to buy eggs.
