History
Established in 2020.
Right after I married my love at first sight, I told her we are going to own a brewery one day! That was in 1993. In 2020, we started NightOwl BrewHouse in our laundry room, had 14 beers on tap in our garage in kegerators, fermented beer in 6.5 gallon glass carboys in our hallway in the foyer, chilled the wort down using a garden hose fed through an 8 foot high window in our laundry room and kegged 5 gallon batches of beer on each brew day. We opened our retail doors on July 3, 2025 with a capacity of 52 including staff, we have a TV above the Taps, soft iHeart Radio Music playing in the background. We have 14 taps on the cooler wall, 1 BBL Brewing System by Spike Brewing and 4 SSBrewTech 2 BBL Fermenters with temperature controls including Tilt Hydrometers for precise gravity readings via an app on my phone powered by their beast of a Glycol Chiller. What a journey this has been, we have 2 amazing kids, one amazing community and the best customers to ever walk through the door!

Cheers ya'll. I'm the CBO - Chief Brewing Officer at NightOwl BrewHouse LLC. I started thinking about brewing in 1993 and when I retired in 2020, I started brewing beer. My first beer was a Blonde Ale, typical for a home brewer! It turned out to be a fantastic tasting beer so I decided to push the limits of my creativity for my second beer and brewed a Belgian Saison at 7.22% ABV. What a bold move that was but it turned out fantastic and that is when I realized I could do this professionally. The rest is history folks, I have created over 23 different beer recipes, all with very Uneeke textures, flavors and profiles. Some easy light drinking beers, some medium flavorful drinking beers and some off the wall flavor beers you would never have imagined tasting and loving. I love pushing the limits on artistry and will never sacrifice quality for quantity, I promise! So stop by, enjoy a flight, a pint, a to go or a crowler. Can't wait to see you all. Cheers to Great Beers!
