Multiple breweries have occupied this city—many right in this neighborhood, block and even this building. Mainstay Independent recognizes the legacy we are celebrating, the opportunities we are embracing and we pledge to brew the finest beer available anywhere.
We serve honest beer brewed traditionally with experience and a balance of art and science…Mainstay Independent’s objective is to explore the full breadth of the craft in an environment that supports makers.
