In 2019, the Robertson family found themselves at a turning point—Susan and Dick Robertson were approaching retirement, and their son, Tanner, had just returned home from military service. With a shared desire to start something new together, they saw potential in a piece of land they owned and took a leap into the world of taphouses. Their vision was simple yet meaningful to create a welcoming space where families and friends could come together over great food, local brews, and unforgettable moments. What began as a small, cozy taphouse has since grown into a vibrant gathering place, bringing the community of Central Oregon together one pint at a time.
