Nail Creek Brewery is situated in the barn directly behind Nail Creek Pub. The origins and age of the barn are unfortunately unknown. About the only thing that I know is that the building is very old. The area of Utica where Nail Creek is located was once filled with breweries, malteries and all kinds of brewing industry. I am crossing my fingers and hoping that the barn was once involved in Utica’s brewing history. The first year of the brewery’s operation will consist of true micro brewing. I’m talking about 20 gallon batches here… one keg at a time. Brewing will take place 2 to 3 times a week. The Primary focus of the first year will be to develop a few finalized, tweaked, end game recipes that I can set as a standard at the pub. I want to continually narrow down the recipes and processes until I have taken them to where I would be confident in sharing them with the worlds best brewers. The secondary focus is to experiment with different styles of beer and explore the art of brewing. Ideally, I would like to brew 3 times a week. The first two times would be to work on standardizing the two recipes and the third would simply be an experiment.
