After purchasing Oakholm Farm in February 2018 Chris “Babe” Predella asked his long time employee Andrew Woodward for advice on utilizing an old barn as a tap room for Christmas Tree Sales in the winter. Andrew had been home brewing for over 7 years and his response was “you should put a brewery here.” They both soon started making plans on renovating the hay barn to create a beautiful brewery. They knew they needed one more person to create a great partnership, and that person was Rick Predella, Babe’s Father. Rick’s background in engineering and operations management was the perfect addition to the partnership. After a two year journey we were able to open in May 2020 to the public for can sales during the height of the pandemic. Since then, the taproom has been opened for indoor and outdoor seating with firepits and outside draft pours on warmer days. The taproom is a smoke free, dog friendly beautiful mortise and tenon timber framed hay barn constructed in the early 1900’s. This historic barn has been completely renovated and a new timber framed addition has been added to maintain the classic look and create large production area. We are very excited to share with you, not only our delicious beer, but the beauty of the property we are on!
