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

New Paris

BERLINER WEISSE- 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 raspberry goodness! Take a trip and visit New Paris! ABV: 3.7% IBU: 5

12 Dollars A Ton

IPA- This beer will transform consumers into IPA lovers! It doesn't taste as hoppy as it looks. It will send you to a tropical paradise from the taste of pineapple and mango. ABV:6.2% IBU:71

Tub Boat

HEFEWEIZEN- 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. ABV: 4.2% IBU: 10

Ober Bremen

RYE BEER- Perhaps our most complex beer yet! This rye beer is a blend of sweet, grainy malt that turns to bubblegum, banana, and spicy rye. To finish it off, there is a dry pleasant bitterness that lingers on the palate along with some sweetness. See what flavors you can pull from this one! ABV: 5.3% IBU:36

Muck Mover

IRISH RED- 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. ABV:4% IBU:25

30 Cent Wage

DARK CHOCOLATE OATMEAL STOUT- 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! ABV: 4.9% IBU:32

Auglaize Trail

IRISH STOUT- 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! ABV: 3.8% IBU: 27

Egbert's

ALT BIER- "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! ABV: 4.8% IBU: 34

Oktoberfest

Who said you can only drink Oktoberfest in October? Not us! It has a long lasting clean, mildly sweet malt flavor that is rich and complex. It is balanced by a slightly dry finish. Your taste buds will rejoice and your heart will be merry with the light and smooth texture Oktoberfest has to bring. ABV: 5.5% IBU: 23

The Mule

VIENNA LAGER- Let's hear it for the mules! They were the engine that could on the canal, so we had to name a beer after them. Our Vienna Lager has a slight roasted, breaded malt flavor. Not light, not heavy... perfectly in the middle. ABV: 4.7% IBU: 26

Bottled

Agitator

BELGIAN ALE (GLUTEN REDUCED)- This is a small test batch. We want to get your feedback. So we are going to let you tell us what it taste like! Try it before it's gone & let us know what you think! *Made with gluten free ingredients but brewed in a non-gluten free facility* ABV: 5% IBU: 28
