Located deep in the farming community of the northern plains of California is the farmhouse brewing company, an artisan microbrewery with the heart of an epicurean. The brewery's home is the town of Gilroy, once a major hay, grain & tobacco producer, and now considered the preeminent garlic source in America.

In the summer of 2005, the farmhouse brewing company was created to harvest all natural, bold, flavorful, yet traditional European & American Farmhouse Ale

What is a Farmhouse Ale?

These ales were typically brewed in a rustic fashion for European farmers and their work hands in the 1800's. The unfiltered ales served the needs of both pleasure and basic survival for the farm workers. The fact that these brews were for consumption on the farm and not sold as commercial products only adds to their obscurity and makes us all the more fortunate to have their descendents available today.
