We had a dream to start and run our own production micro brewery and taproom. Why? A passion for beer and a love of community that beer creates. 

Our goal is to make traditionally styled craft beers because we believe it is time to revisit the classics made with locally grown, high quality ingredients. What better reason than fresh locally produced tasty beer to bring people together! The beers we will brew are those you will want to share with friends, "shared beers are the best beers".

We are a family/veteran owned and operated brewery. We are self-funded with help from our Founder's Club Members. Our brewer has 25 years of brewing experience, beginning with a home brew kit in 1990. In the summer of 2012, he began brewing on a commercial system at Stickmen Brewing Company. He continued brewing regularly through the fall of 2014, when he began standing up Vanguard Brewing Company.
