About Us

We’ve been brewing with friends for many years and got very close to opening our brewery, but then 2020 happened. So after the world began to become a little more normal again we resumed our efforts and eventually opened in 2023.

Shortly after we opened we learned that Micah has celiac disease and so that required another change to the plan as he has all these great beer recipes but cannot be around the ingredients of beer anymore. So we have friends with breweries that have lots of capacity and are happy to brew our recipes for us.

Currently we are working on developing gluten free beers made with sorghum, millet and buckwheat so that we can resume our plan of brewing spontaneously fermented farmhouse style  beers.

events

Bi-Weekly Bluegrass

Every other Tuesday night is Bluegrass, bring your instrument and strum along or sip a beer and tap your toe.

Friday Night Trivia

On Friday nights about 8pm we have trivia, with questions that our librarian comes up with. Free to play. Four rounds of ten questions.

Paint with a Pint

About once a month we host a painting class with local artist Jennifer Smythe. Seats are limited.

We have all sorts of fun things happening every so often such as Woofstock, so check out our Facebook page for the most up to date information about events happening at our place.

Art by Micah Neal

So much of our lives are inundated with noisy advertisements that I wanted to create a refuge where you can think a thought. So the walls are filled with art, some of it for sale, but all of it is to be enjoyed.

Local Beers

As well as our own beers we offer a curated list of a constantly changing selection to ensure that your pallete never gets bored. 

Relaxed atmosphere with house brews and guest Taps. Beer great and well priced. Allows food brought in or ordered from next door. Two chill dogs to drink with make this an easy 5 stars.

If I could give more stars I would, my group and I go for trivia night every so often and the atmosphere is always chill. Between Holly and Micah being so friendly and welcoming, and the dogs, it’s the perfect place to relax and have a drink. I will always recommend malt and barrel to anyone and everyone.

– Kaitlyn S.

Great place to relax and have an actual conversation with craft beer and beautiful ambience. Also there’s an amazing dog who always wants pets. 5 Stars.
