Black Shirt Brewing Company

Black Shirt Brewing Co. was founded in 1999 and opened to the public in 2012. As they say “good things take time.” Since our opening, we’ve collected many awards and recognition for the quality of our beer, ambiance, and customer service. 

We became fascinated with the art and science of fermentation and the social aspect of sharing what we made with our community. We had never operated a commercial brewery before but we jumped into our journey with both feet.

We read every book we could get our hands on, studied every article, and got to work. It was once said that you can do anything you put your mind to and we set out to prove it to ourselves. 

Black Shirt Brewing Co was founded by brothers Chad and Branden Miller and Chad's wife, Carissa. Most breweries attempt to satisfy every palate. That is not our mission.

We focus on one style, exploring its potential, pushing its boundaries. We craft red ales. The definitive American beer, a handheld symbol of our birthright. Evoking a time when people did one thing and did it damn well. We do everything by hand, in small batches. No gimmicks. No bull shit.
