Our 200th Brew!
We are thrilled to announce that Red Bird Brewing is approaching its 200th brew! From our humble beginnings as a small microbrewery in our original building, our dream took flight 7 years ago with a small but dedicated team. Since then, we’ve soared to new heights, expanding into our new location next door, which has significantly increased our brewing capabilities. With the addition of two talented brewers and a growing team, we’ve created a vibrant venue that embodies the spirit of Red Bird. As we celebrate this milestone during our 3rd year in our expanded space, we are grateful for the support that has made this journey possible, we could not have done it without you guys! Cheers to many more brews to come!
