rages, cold brew coffee and cider. Feel free to bring your own food or enjoy meals from the delicious food trucks parked right outside of our building.

Here is another 10-year throwback. What the brewery looks like now vs. in March 2016. We were receiving shipments while working in our makeshift office consisting of card tables and folding chairs. And we didn't have any beer on tap yet!

Here's another 10 year throwback moment.

The oldest of the 3 Riggs Cats "Dunkles" in the beergarden this morning vs. 10 years ago. A lot has changed over the past 10 years, but one thing sure hasn't: You can enjoy a locally grown beer on wooden tables in our large beergarden... and you might even be paid a visit by Dunkles!
