The Beginning: The original 7 BBL brewhouse, where we crafted our original award winning beers, was built with a full hands on approach. Grain is hand mashed-in and mixed and pipes are connected by hand, giving us full control over every part of the brewing process. We do this to ensure optimum quality and consistency, while still being able to continuously tweak, experiment and develop new recipes. Today: Having outgrown our original 7BBL brewhouse, we’ve now doubled our production space. That being said, we continue to build on our original concept to produce the highest quality, hand crafted beers that we’ve been known for since the beginning. We brew the beer we want to drink. Plain and simple.
The original Stockyards brewery
Rainhard Brewing opened to the public in May 2015 in a former refinery. Located at 100 Symes Rd, the building is a 1940’s style manufacturing plant, renovated and modernized with sandblasted walls and exposed ceilings while retaining the original glass paned windows. The bar has been designed and built by Jordan Rainhard himself in the heart of the brewhouse, surrounded by brewing vessels, fermenters and oak barrels.
