First New Barons Product Sampled: I can’t remember the first beer that I made that I sampled when NBBC became official. I want to say it was the 4x4.
Favorite New Barons Beer: Nice try, you can’t tell people who your favorite child is.

Most Memorable New Barons Event:
The first Beer Drive-Thru. That mile-long of cars lined up for our beer is something that I won’t ever forget.

Favorite New Barons Beer: Otis. I love how unique and drinkable it is, but it's story is what really stands out. It has both pageantry and peasantry! Knappster Premium is a great patio crusher too.

Most Memorable New Barons Event:
The beer drive-thrus! It was quintessential New Baron's, bringing people together in community to make them feel part of something larger than themselves!

What are you looking forward to most for New Barons in the next year?
Growing as a community and as a brewery. Making new friends over a pint or seven. And, puppies in the taproom!

Without a doubt, the Hop Pickin' trip to a member-owners farm! So unique and would love this to happen again.

New Baron's Tap Room has become one of my favorite places and more so since the City has opened up.  I've met some of the nicest and most interesting people.  So, I guess I'm looking forward to more of that.
