Lion's Tail Brewing Co. & Tap Room
Lion’s Tail was born from the dream of a passionate home-brewer to one day have a taproom where he could share his love for quality craft beer with more than just his family and friends. Alex’s obsession for brewing beer grew stronger as the space available in their basement to do it continued to shrink. After months of planning, Alex and Kristin Wenzel were finally able to make their dream a reality when they opened the doors to Lion’s Tail Brewing Company in November of 2015.
