Arcadia Brewing Company was established in 1996 as a microbrewery specializing in handcrafted British-style ales. All of our beers are produced in small batches, and our 25 Barrel Peter Austin Brewery and methods originated in England, which allows this style of beer to reflect over 250 years of world class brewing heritage. In addition to brewing on authentic British equipment, Arcadia uses only the finest malted barley from England, and when combined with the freshest hops from the Pacific Northwest of our United States, and our legendary Ringwood yeast, the result is some of the best and freshest handcrafted ales available, on any continent.

In Colorado, we are fortunate to have our water come from some of the most natural sources straight from the snowpack in the front range, including the Arapaho glacier within eyeshot of the brewery. This is something we don’t take for granted—it's something we need to protect to ensure this key ingredient stays fresh and of the highest quality to continue producing the highest quality of beers. Clean water is also at the heart and soul of the employees here at the brewery, given we spend so much of our free time recreating around it, whether it’s boating, fishing, skiing, or hiking. Protecting that for the future is not only for our best interest of the brewery but also for the interest of our employees, their families, and the entire community.

Located in the historic Bates Mill, Baxter Brewing Co. is a Maine-based craft brewery that cans all of its beer. In addition to being better for the environment (aluminum is the most recycled material in the world) and the beer itself by keeping the liquid safe from light and oxygen, cans are infinitely more portable than glass, and therefore the perfect accompaniment to outdoor activities. As one of our founding principles is to be a sustainably-driven, environmentally-friendly company, we strive to be "greener" than the normal brewing process calls for through efforts including purchasing wind power to offset 100% of our electrical usage, using our spent grain and yeast to feed local cattle, composting solid waste and discarded hops, using ME-certified energy efficient lighting, recovering and reusing steam from our brewhouse, neutralizing our waste water, enforcing a strict recycling program, and, of course, using cans (don't worry: our 6-pack rings are 100% photodegradable).

The story of Bear Republic, like most other craft brewers, begins with homebrewing. It was the spark for our passion to create quality, hand-crafted beers. Why did we decide to craft beers among the grapevines of California's world-famous Wine Country? Simple. This is where we are from. Founded by 3rd and 4th generation Sonoma County residents, we are family-owned and team-oriented. We believe that sustainability, beer quality and financial responsibility go hand in hand. We've worked hard to achieve a 3.5 to 1 water use to beer produced ratio in our drought stressed region. Investment in extensive solar arrays and a state of the art wastewater pretreatment system help us to further reduce our impact on the environment.

Beer is an essential part of the American cultural heritage. In the 19th century and into the early 20th century, every town had its own brewery to provide beer for the residents.

Flossmoor Station's owners, Dean and Carolyn Armstrong, who are Flossmoor residents, saw the deterioration of the historic old Flossmoor Train Station right before their eyes. Run-down and well on its way to being a safety liability, the building badly needed some tender loving care. Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery's debut was met with great excitement as the community had its first opportunity to see how lovingly the old building was restored, and what a stunning addition it would make to the town. Flossmoor – and South Chicagoland – now had a true "public house" and "community gathering place" – the goal the Armstrongs persisted to achieve. Watch video

In short, we make beer for people like us." Founders. Brewed for us. Watch video
