The brewery opened in a historic Lowertown commercial building in June 2017. In addition to a taproom and 10-barrel brewing facility, the building has a 4,000 square feet (370 m2) limestone cellar being used for barrel aging. Given their limited production capacity, their beers are only available at the taproom or in limited local distribution.[1][4]

Since opening, the brewery has received a number of accolades. It appeared on multiple local and national lists of best new breweries and won a "best new brewery" reader poll sponsored by USA Today.[5] Reviews praise the quality and breadth of their beers with Thrillist noting "there's hardly a worst beer here"[6] and local newspaper City Pages commending their "consistent, balanced approach to greatness".[7]
