ABOUT THE BREWERY

Dancing Grain Farm Brewery operates a new Fronhofer designed and manufactured thermal fluid 2-vessel, 3.5 bbl brewhouse complete with 4 7-bbl fermenters and 4 3.5-bbl fermenters, and one each of the same size brite tank. This type of brewhouse is almost identical to a steam system, without the maintenance of a steam boiler. All base malts are grown on site and shipped to our malt vendors to be processed and returned for use in our beers. Housed together with our taproom in a renovated farm building with beautiful brews and views, Dancing Grain offers a laidback experience with a sophisticated and varied beer list.
