New Republic Brewing is the only production brewery in BCS. What does that mean, you ask? It means the brewery cannot sell on site, but can sell in local bars and stores. They can also give away beer at the brewery, which is where the tour comes in!
The boys at the brewery charge $6 for entry, which includes a pint glass and two complimentary pints of whatever is on tap.
The brewery boasts two beers year round: Bellows, a hoppy amber ale, and Skylight, a sweet heffiweisen with slight marshmallow flavors.
They have just started their “rough draft” series, which allows visitors to try out new brews currently in development, and give feedback directly to the brewers.
Each tour usually feature live music, so be sure to bring your camp chair and hang out in the brewery back yard to take in the free concert.
Recently, the brewery started inviting food trucks to feed the masses. This week, the famous Chef Tai will had his truck out, and next tour Stover Brothers will make an appearance.
On top of all this, the brewers give a tour of the brewery, giving visitors a chance to chat with the brewers and ask questions about the brewing process.
What more do you want? Beer and friends and music and food. Come on out!
