10 Reasons To Host Your Wedding Reception At A Brewery
Breweries have become one of the hottest venue choices for modern couples to host their wedding events. Every part of your marriage and wedding celebration can be hosted in a brewery: from the engagement party to the rehearsal dinner, the wedding ceremony to the reception.
Celebrating Oktoberfest
As autumn approaches, brewers are adjusting their brewing schedule by adding more dark and malty styles to the list. When beer drinkers think of “fall beers”, the name Oktoberfest usually comes to mind. Oktoberfest refers both to a malty, light-golden lager brewed to about 6 percent ABV (something like an imperial Munich Helles), and the largest beer festival in the world! Oktoberfest is an annual two-week festival held in Munich, Germany that ends on the first Sunday in October…
Building History
We may be the new kids on the block, but if the ground beneath our taproom could talk, it would have some fascinating stories to share.
In the beginning, a different structure stood on the ground where we reside today. Burrell and Helen Chastain moved to Central Florida from Indiana in 1948 and whet their appetites in the restaurant industry before taking ownership of the old Arrowhead Restaurant at 23 N Orange Blossom Trail (our current address) in 1956.
The Color of Beer
Beer comes in an array of colors from light to dark. Most of us use the terms yellow, amber, brown, or black to identify a beer’s shade but professional brewers use an SRM number value, or Standard Reference Method, to specify color to fit within beer style guidelines.
A Home for Hops
Hops are the green flowers or “cones” of the female Humulus Lupulus plant and are primarily used in brewing for flavor, bittering, aroma, and stability.
Approximately 96% of US hop production comes from Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, an area known as the Pacific Northwest. Due to the latitude, rich soil, mild air, and moderate rainfall, hop bines flourish in these parts; however, US hops weren’t always grown in the Pacific Northwest.
Homebrewed History
Professional brewers often get their introduction to brewing by tinkering with beer made at home. Mastering techniques with limited equipment and tweaking recipes with various yeast strains, malt extracts, and hop pellets are all part of the fun.

Our Clay Vessels Secret Disclosed
Amphorae (clay vessels) have been used for centuries to make beer. Historical evidence shows that clay vessels were first used as early as the Neolithic era. During the Bronze and Iron Ages, they evolved into the cylindrical style with which we are currently familiar, and the Romans and Phoenicians used them to store and transport wine.
What Does Deadwords Mean?
Our name is inspired by the Hymn to Ninkasi, a nearly 4,000-year-old beer recipe written in an archaic language.
