Hermitage Brewing Company

This beer accelerator used by many area breweries has justly earned its strong local following as well. Hermitage’s brewers are able to play with hop varietals with a freedom few possess. The friendly, airy, no-frills taproom sets the tasting mood for the brewing company’s single hop series of almost 50 beers. There are limited releases every month, and people flock to taste them in the taproom. Hermitage’s barrel-aged program is breaking new ground, with California wine barrels used for sours.
