But it’s not just about the destination; getting there should be at least half the fun.

Verboten Brewing & Barrel Project
Verboten Brewing & Barrel Project got its name from the German word for “forbidden” which the founders picked based on German beer-purity laws (Reinheitsgebot). These laws restricted 15th and 16th century Germans from using anything except for water, barley, and hops in the brewing process and still exist in a modified form today with the addition of yeast as an approved ingredient.
