Fermentation Boogie

The Pub
Our Pub is a place to indulge in the culture of beer. It is a way of life for us and we love to share our passion with all visitors that take the time to stop in. We also have some pretty cool digs here. Step inside and you will feel like you just stepped inside a Belgian monastery...except we don't have monks walking around in robes. Instead we have a pretty casual scene where you can come for a goblet of beer with friends, or bring the whole work team down for dinner.
We do more than just make inspired beer here, we also look to create a beer-food experience for you. We do this by putting a lot of thought into our menu selection and carefully matching it with our beer. We have also been known to do this the other way around and design a beer around a single food item.
