Thanksgiving Holiday Hours

Thanksgiving is coming up soon.  So wanted to let you know our hours for that week (Nov 20-24).

We will be closed on Thanksgiving day.  Oustide of that - business as usual!

4-8 Tues and Wed, 4-10 on Friday and 2-10 on Saturday.

Thanks and hope you all have a great holiday!

Tasting Room Hours

Starting next week on Tuesday, October 23, we will be changing our tasting room hours. We have been considering this for a while now but we will finally be open during the week as well as staying open a bit later on weekends. Our new hours are as follows:

Tuesday to Thursday: 4Pm-8PM
Friday: 4PM-10PM
Saturday: 2PM-10PM

We will be trying these hours out and see how they go. Also to note is that we are opening an hour later on Saturday.

Hello, is this thing on?

I noticed that it has been a little while since we last posted anything to the blog.  Just wanted to give a quick update to all that is going on. 

We mentioned back in April that we were looking into moving.  Yes, that is still happening, no we have not done it yet, no I do not have a timeline on it yet.  There are a lot of factors that are making this take so long, but it will all be worth it in the end.  We will be sure to keep everyone up to date here, on our website and via twitter and facebook when there is more concrete information that we can share.

In our last post (back in June!), we mentioned $2.00 off growler fills on Saturdays.  Just wanted to bring that up again as it has remained in place.  So bring in those growlers (or come grab new ones) on Saturdays to take advantage.

We are constantly rolling out new beers and changing around what we have on tap.  Be sure to keep an eye on our website or follow us on twitter and facebook to keep up to date on the latest of what we have available.  Always something good going on around here.  Any other specials we have going on will also pop up on twitter and facebook from time to time as well.

Finally, just wanted to say thanks to everyone!  We are grateful for all of the support and the new friends we have made along the way.  This has been amazing and we look forward to what the future brings for I & I!

Happy Father's Day

To help celebrate the Dads in our lives, we are kicking off a new Saturday only special:


Starting with this Father's Day weekend: $2.00 OFF on each growler fill on SATURDAYS only!


On another note, progress is being made on the new location but it will still be a while until we are ready to move.


We are also tossing around the idea of opening additional hours/days (no, not Sundays), but haven't come to a consensus yet. If you have input, feel free to contribute.


*Note: as you may be aware, our pricing structure has also changed to reflect the amount of labor and materials for each beer separately instead of a flat rate across the board. Some beers have gone up while others have gone down.

It Begins Again

We picked up the keys to the new location today. Yep, we are moving. We apologize to everyone in advance that have gone through the tribulations of finding our hidden little brewery, but this has been bigger than we ever imagined.

In order to accommodate all of our guests and the amount of production we need, along with a variety of other reasons, we have decided to relocate. It is in the same industrial park so for all of our local support, no worries.

We are hoping that we will be able to do this without adversely affecting our current operations until the actual move date but we will keep you posted. Thank you to all who have continued to support us and we hope to make the new location even more enjoyable.

Growler Test

As many of you are aware, we took quite a while before we started doing growler fills. This was for a number of reasons but first and foremost among these is the fact that since our beer is only available in our tasting room, we wanted to make sure that any beer "to go" was as close to as good as it is right off the taps. I found some faucet adapters called the "Bowie Bottler" and rigged up filling wands similar to the principal of bottle fillers where the beer is filled from the bottom under presssure.

We have now been using these for around a month and I happen to have a couple of bottles at home that were filled four weeks ago to the day. Just as carbonated as it was when it was bottled with no discernable off flavors. So far so good. I will try the other bottle in another month or two and let you know. Here is an image of the Extra Pale Ale for your enjoyment (actually for mine :-D).

On another note, I don't think we mention this very often but since our beer is not pastuerized and not filtered, it should ALWAYS be kept cold and will not hold up to shipping well either.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Our first Saint Patrick's Day as I & I Brewing has arrived. Jacqui told me I needed to make a green beer. I told her that is not gonna happen (at least not with green dye). However,  in order to celebrate St Pats, I prepared a special beer for the day: Corned Beef and Cabbage Stout. Yeah, I know it sounds messed up but I have been wanting to make a "savory" beer so this was a good opportunity. Salt, pepper, beef bullion and cabbage all in the boil. Not enough to make it overpowering, just a hint of all the flavors at the back. Come give it a try today as we only made a very small amount of it (even I thought it might be horrific).

Please, be safe today and if you are out drinking take a designated driver with you.
