Gongoozlers Brewery

One place where many Gongoozlers can gather and drink quality, craft beer!

History

Meaning Behind The Name
Gongoozlers is a term used to describe people who enjoy life in a canal town. Being located in a town that's connected to the Miami-Erie canal, which stretches from Cincinnati to Toledo, it is only fitting to have one place where many Gongoozlers can gather. Come join us at Gongoozlers Brewery, where we can enjoy life and great beer together!
 
Meet The Owners
James and Diane Gilberg had a wonderful idea to bring a brewery to small town New Bremen, Ohio. James, the Brew Master, started this adventure by making wine. Not long after starting the process, he realized how much time it took to make wine and wasn't pleased with the outcome. Using the same equipment, he brewed his first batch of beer! This was the start of his new found love for brewing craft beer. Not only does he enjoy the finished product, he appreciates the art and science behind developing a new beer. 

History

Beer

On Tap

Treaty

BRITISH BROWN ALE | ABV:4.9% IBU:24 | If the sweet, nutty caramel and toffee aroma doesn't draw you in, the taste will! Imagine all of that when you take a gulp plus a hint of dark chocolate. A mild bitterness to balance it out with a touch of earthy hop, and you got yourself a treat with Treaty.

Lock One

CREAM ALE | ABV:4.5% IBU:18 | A white fluffy whip cream head, tops a straw yellow beer. It is aggressively light bodied with a citrusy taste and aroma. Brewed partially with Ohio grown hops, and the finest malts and corn. This beer will make you think of summer no matter what time of year you are drinking it!

Tub Boat

HEFEWEIZEN | ABV:4.5% IBU:10 | Not a hoppy person? This one is for you, especially with its IBU being 10! Deep orange and cloudy are the best words to describe the looks of this refreshing beer! Tub Boat is well carbonated, creamy, and citrusy. It doesn’t let the Hefeweizen style down with its subtle taste of wheat flour.

Twice the Goat

DOPPELBOCK | ABV:8% IBU:21 | Nooo you didn't drink too much... you are seeing Twice the Goat! Enjoy this rich beer full of flavors like dark fruits and hints of caramel

12 Dollars A Ton

IPA | ABV:6.4% IBU:67 | This beer will transform consumers into IPA lovers! It doesn't taste as hoppy as it looks. Prepare to be sent to a tropical paradise from the refreshing taste of pineapple and mango.

Muck Mover

IRISH RED | ABV:4.2% IBU:24 | Paying homage to the canal diggers with this light, Irish Red. If you like a hint of toast and light coffee paired together, this is the perfect one for you and your palate.

The Mule

VIENNA LAGER | ABV:4.2% IBU:26 | It's named The Mule, but it doesn't kick like one. Light, refreshing lager for spring and summer!

30 Cent Wage

DARK CHOCOLATE OATMEAL STOUT | ABV:4.9% IBU:32 | We call this the "breakfast beer": oatmeal, coffee, and dark chocolate are the main flavors. The taste of coffee and cocoa will warm your insides. It's a great way to start your day and/or end it!

New Paris

BERLINER WEISSE | ABV:2% IBU:5 | With an IBU of 5, this Berliner Weisse is purely refreshing and extremely light! Our sour beer will get you ready for sunshine and warmer weather! To the sweeter beer lovers out there... we got you! Try it MIT SCHUSS (with syrup): It's great without the syrup, but for added sweetness you can try throwing in some syrup goodness! Take a trip and visit New Paris!

Auglaize Trail

IRISH STOUT | ABV:3.8% IBU:27 | If you thought a dark beer couldn't be light and refreshing, then you have to try this! It has an aroma of coffee and toast, with a more prominent toast flavor. You won't even notice the hops in this one!
