Brewing Projekt does a bunch of stuff too but pretty sure they only kettle sour as well.
Feeling the call of the open road something fierce... what’s a good remote destination?I’ve been wanting to head through WI to Elkader, IA, for Schera’s and Deb’s.
I hate people.

Walk in cooler? Looks like it's just a room with an A/C unit plugged into it.
my head was buried in shuke's tits.
TITS help you hit home runs.
Can we get this thread amended to "Back-roads Breweries"? I'll keep posting IL breweries in here, sorry not sorry ... Emancipation Brewing Co., Fairbury, ILStopped here after a picnic with the inlaws. Somewhere in the cornfields between Bloomington and Chicago. Cool place, the brewery is in a former dairy barn. Great patio out back with a fire pit and picnic tables in a small hop field. The IPA's were great, i'm still working on the rest of the beer I picked up there. Missed the one draft they didn't crowler, a jalapeño lime kölsch. Solid little place with potential, i'll stop back again and hopefully hang out for a bit longer next time.
well the main subject line in the forum has been changed, but the responses still say "In Wisconsin"
I *love* places like that. There is one in rural northern Virginia, Vanish, basically off Rte 50 down a dirt road. Brewery and hop farm.
Speaking of backroad farm breweries, this one is pretty rustic. They also have an open air "treehouse bar" for warmer weather.Take a Hike to Big Thorn Brewery (Georgetown, IL)
Cool, the beers sound interesting and the pizzas look good too
Seeing all these remote farm breweries, I can't help but wonder if Hill Farmstead was an inspiration in some way. They achieved cult status in part due to their inaccessibility i'd say, but that's true for most in-demand breweries that don't distribute.

Certainly they proved that the business model can be very viable if you brew good beer and the word gets out to the beer community. But in some of cases, it could be that some people just want to brew and like being in the boonies.
