Bison Brewing
It is reported, that this location is closed!
Founded in 1989, Bison’s brewpub was a creative home for live music, food, and craft beer. I learned to brew with unique ingredients such as honey, sage, basil, chocolate, cranberry & coriander to augment the characteristics of beers primary ingredients: malt, yeast, water, and hops. I lost the lease in 2003 and became a bottle only brewery. You can buy my beer in fine grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, and better beer stores. Let me know what you think.
