Kveik Barleywine

Over the last 10 years, nearly 1 million pounds of grain have been marched upstairs to the malt mill at our Whitney Way location to supply better than 1400 batches of beer.
As we celebrate our first 10 years of brewing, we salute all the helping hands in the Vintage family- past and present- we couldn’t have done it without you!
