Firehall Brewery
Planning for the Firehall Brewery launch began in early 2011, and equipment installation began in July later that year. They purchased the brewing system from a local bootlegger, and soon enough were busy piping it into the Old Firehall’s cavernous bunker with the help of friends & family. For an inside look at the whole process, check out “Brewing a Brewery”.The first batch was released at the end of March 2012, and since then they have been pumping out unfiltered, unpasteurized, and uncompromised artisan ales, again with much help from friends, family, a team of awesome staff.
