At Schoolhouse Craft Beer we are passionate about all things beer. We are on a continuous educational adventure, learning all we can about this complex and beautiful beverage so that we can pass on that knowledge to those around us. We believe that craft beer is more than just something to be consumed, it’s an experience with a rich history and interesting story waiting to be told. When class is in session, grab a glass and join us. Cheers!
