Bear Chase Brewing Company

Nestled in the rolling, wooded hills, historic Bear Chase Manor is being joined by the newest craft brewery in the county. The newly remodeled “Brew Barn” boasts a complete 10-barrel system on one side, and a smaller 3.5-barrel system on the other. The larger system will produce the perennial favorites of local craft beer enthusiasts (such as Mr. Blonde, High Pointe Helles, and Anarchy Ale), while the smaller system is used for experimenting with new recipes, producing limited release small batch brews, and teaching people about the art and science of beer making. Bear Chase Brewing Company recently celebrated our 1 year anniversary. We are continually adding items to our beer and food menus, new events to the calendar, and we now offer wine and cider for those of you who wish to imbibe in something other than beer! Drop in for a quick cold one, or a weekend excursion. At Bear Chase, it’s all about the experience.
