Christmas day 1985, and opened to the public the following year. They claim to be the fifth brewpub opened in the United States, and the oldest currently in operation with the original equipment and
brewmasters. The brewery was founded as
Roaring Rock Brewery and Alehouse, but changed their name in 1989 at the insistence of
Latrobe Brewing Company, owners of

Drake's Brewing Company, in
San Leandro, California. == Awards ==
