Overview
Awkward Brewing is a small, community focused craft brewery built on great beer, genuine hospitality and just the right amount of awkward. We believe beer is better when it's shared, conversations are a little weird, and everyone feels welcome the moment they walk through the door. If you love craft beer, enjoy making people feel at home, and don't mind embracing a little social awkwardness (in the best possible way), this might be the perfect fit.
