Microbreweries, or “Craft Breweries” as we like to call them, are popping up all over the U.S. At Blind Squirrel, we can produce 20-60 gallons of specialty beer daily.

As you participate in a one of a kind brewing experience you will gain expertise on producing quality microbrews. Brewer Aaron Maas will show you everything you need to know from milling the grain to adding the right hops so that you can head home with your own brew. Lets brew!

Weekend Brew-making Getaway

A weekend brewery session at the Blind Squirrel & Toe River Lodge gives you the best of all aspects of our intricate operation.  This brewery experience requires four brewers with a five brewer maximum.  Each brewer may bring one guest that is invited to participate in all aspects of the experience.

Itinerary

Friday:
Check into one of five bedrooms at our Bed & Breakfast where you can relax until you sit down to enjoy a casual gourmet dinner. 

Saturday:
Breakfast Saturday morning is served family style and includes cuisine inspired from all over the world.

Lunch will be at 12:30 at the cafe where you can order whatever you like from our menu.

At 1:30 your brew session will begin and will last approximately five hours.  During the five hours you learn all the steps necessary to craft quality microbrews while eating light snacks and hor’deourves, and relaxing in between crafting the brew and checking the score on the big screen.

As your brew session draws to a close you can prepare yourself to enjoy a four course gourmet meal

Sunday:
Sunday is the sleep in day or you could take advantage of some fishing, hiking, biking, or an afternoon adventure on our canopy zip line tour.  Either way you should prepare for an outstanding brunch experience at 10:30 am.

After brunch, we invite you to stay Sunday night on us for free.  If Sunday night doesn’t work for you, then we encourage you to come in one night early on Thursday, also on us.
