DuClaw Brewing
We consider the art of beer making sacred. With more than 30 distinguished microbrews, ranging from Double IPAs to Barley Wines to Sours and beyond, we deliver on what we promise. If the label says Double IPA, then a Double IPA is what you’re drinking – and a damn good one, too!
We’ve come a long way since our start in 1996, and firmly believe got here by respecting each and every beer we make. And when you care about making really good beer, when you stay focused on what really matters, people respond. You can try (and re-try) our beers in 19 states in the Northeast, Southeast and Midwest. Enjoy!
Craft Be Cherished. Rules Be Damned.
