Between the time we opened
and the time we brewed our first beer, we were
like expectant parents meticulously putting
every piece in its proper place, ensuring that
everything was perfect for our beer. On February
21st, 2013, our brew kettle fired up for the first
time with our inaugural beer, Contentious, an
IPA fermented with Belgian yeast. This created
a slightly spicy brew with an enormous hop
presence. Our brewmaster works diligently to provide a
wide range of brews for all to enjoy. Our beer
regularly performs well in competition. In 2015,
we were honored to receive Best In Show at the
Midwest Brewer’s Fest for our Wishful Thinking,
Belgian-style strong dark. Tastings.com has
rated highly our Zicke Zacke Oktoberfest and our
Doppelbock. Today, our brewmaster focuses on pushing the
limits of traditional lager techniques. While we
brew some German-style beers, like our Pilsener
and our Hook & Hatchet Vienna-style lager, we
also push for creating extremely clean IPAs,
American reds, and a variety of others using our
house lager yeast. We encourage you to join us
to try out our latest creations from the brewery
and check out our latest experiments. We, at
Nevin’s, brew because we’re infatuated with what
happens when malted barley steeps in hot water,
when hops dance in the boiling wort, and when
yeast takes on the sacred task of converting our
sugar water to beer. We turn our noses up at nothing because we see
opportunity in everything.
