The Brew Works is very unique here in the
area as a brewery.  We have a small pub
brewing system that's 15 barrels, which
cruise just under 500 gallons for each batch.
Because we are a brewpub, we have great
advantage of being able to serve
directly at our bar from the tanks. You can see right here on bright tank 4,
3 & 2, we are actually serving those
directly at the bar. So, what happens with
these lines is the beer comes through
them, it goes down to our cooler through
the pumps, back directly to the tap, so
you're getting the freshest beer
possible.
Every Saturday, we have a guided tour here. It's sort of the official tour
of the week. We usually get a group of 10
to 15 people or so and it's very
intimate; It could take about an hour. We
take a look at the tanks here. These two
tanks are the actual vessel that we will
make the liquid which will eventually
become beer. We look at the fermentation
area that's upstairs. Upstairs we have
seven 15 barrel fermenters. These are 30
barrel fermenters, so, these are two brews
to fill up one of these. Of course,
there's plenty of samples before and
after the tour. We're a full-service
restaurant. We pretty much carry
everything you look for in food. We're
very family oriented, so, we have kids
meals and then we get up to the gourmet,
fine dining end of things with our
steaks that we have and the seafood
dishes. We typically have 12 different
beers on tap.
Fresh as it can be, right here in the
brewery, different seasonal beers that we
brew only at certain times. We're always
out in the market working with our sales
guys and our brewery team to figure out
what new styles of beer and what
brands people are looking for.
