Proudly brewing traditional beer
since 1999

It’s just 40 feet from the Emmett’s brewhouse to the tap that fills your glass — just 40 feet in which our beer is fermented, conditioned, filtered, and served. Beer is always best enjoyed at its source and it doesn’t get much fresher than this. Can’t make it to the brewery? We also package our beer! For the best at-home experience, keep your Emmett’s brews cold and enjoy them within 120 days of the packed-on date.

A Neighborhood beer for neighborly people

We are traditional brewers using traditional ingredients — water, malt, hops, and yeast. No syrups or extracts here. We pride ourselves on bringing the world of beer to our friends and neighbors, and we spare no expense doing so. When you try a German Pilsener or English Pale Ale at Emmett’s, we promise that your pint is as close to the original as you can get. Our ingredients are sourced from the country of origin. Sure it costs more to brew beer that way, but our reputation rides on every pint. Maybe that’s why Emmett’s has been recognized for outstanding beer both locally, nationally, and internationally.

“oom-pah-pah!”
