Gongoozlers Brewery
One place where many Gongoozlers can gather and drink quality, craft beer!
History
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.
Beer
On Tap
Coffee and Cream
COFFEE CREAM ALE | ABV: 5.6% IBU: ? | We take our Lock One Cream Ale and cold brew it with Columbian Vienna Roast beans from the New Bremen Coffee Company. Is it coffee or is it a beer? We don't know but it sure is delicious!
Six Towns
SCHWARZBIER | ABV: 4.1% IBU: 25 | Six Towns is a German Black Lager that is very dark brown with ruby highlights. Don't let the color of this beer fool you! Six Towns is light, smooth, and very easy drinking! It has a sweet malt taste balanced by a roasted coffee or dark chocolate bitterness. German Floral Hops peak through when it warms up.
Ol' Smoky
Rauch Bier | ABV: 5.4% IBU: 26 | A clear dark brown colored beer with ruby highlights and a tan head that lasts forever. A subtle smoky yet clean German lager with aromas of beech wood, smoke, grain, and a hint of bacon. Flavors of beech wood, smoke and sweet malt... yum!
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!
Loramie Summit
IMPERIAL STOUT | ABV: 6.9% IBU: 74 | Think of a pleasantly thick and richer body than your normal stout. Described as a sweeter smelling beer that's followed with a sweet malt, raisin, plum taste along with hints of cocoa, roast, and earthy hops. This beer has a lot going for it and will WOW your taste buds!
Muck Mover
IRISH RED | ABV:5.1% 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.
12 Dollars A Ton
IPA | ABV:5.6% IBU:65 | 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.
30 Cent Wage
DARK CHOCOLATE OATMEAL STOUT | ABV:4.6% 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!
Tub Boat
HEFEWEIZEN | ABV:5.4% 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.
New Paris
BERLINER WEISSE | ABV:4.5% 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!
Egbert's
ALT BIER | ABV: 5.2% IBU:37 | "Are you calling me old?" is what Jim Egbert asked after he was told an Alt Bier would be named after him ("alt" in German means old). We are remembering him and his love for all things German and craft beer! If the clear and coppery color doesn't draw you in at first, the smell of baked bread and hops surely will! The flavor is rich and complex full of malty bread crust and grain. It's balanced with a pleasant hop bitterness aftertaste. Prost!
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.
