We set out in February 2019 with the goal of creating a brewery and space centered around two things - Craft Beer & Community. “Emancipation” means many things to us, but above all, we want it to stand for freedom from the bad things in beer. 

The first aspect we wanted to tackle was flavorless beer. We brew beers with authentic ingredients for each style and spare no cost in sourcing the ingredients that we believe will result in the most delicious beer possible. Our top priority is, and will always be, creating the highest quality beers we are able to, no matter the cost.

The second aspect is the snobbery often found in craft beer. We consciously create a space where people in all stages of their craft beer journey can enjoy themselves. We do our best to curate a tap list that includes a wide variety of styles that allow a visitor to find something they’re comfortable with, as well as something for them to push their limits and experiment with.

The third aspect is the negative connotation that beer can evoke. Often, beer is seen as a step below wine and spirits - a beverage consumed in mass quantity without much thought. A means to an end. We strive to create an environment where the focus is on the aspects of beer such as flavor, aroma, and experience. Beyond that, we hope that our taproom is a place that people visit to connect with friends and family, and have the opportunity to make new friends as well. 

By keeping the focus on our beers and the personal connections people make while enjoying them, we make strides toward freeing ourselves from the bad aspects of beer. 

We hope you enjoy our beers and taproom as much as we’ve enjoyed creating them.

- Lincoln & Don Slagel
