Skunkworts was named after a passion for both aviation and brewing. In 1943 the aircraft manufacturer Lockheed Martin formed a clandestine lab in order to produce the world’s most sophisticated and cutting-edge aircraft. The offshoot became known as Skunk Works after a fabled location in the Lil’ Abner comic series. The result was legendary. Skunk Works produced and continues to lead in the production of the coolest stuff flying above us.

We simply replaced “Works” with “wort” – the liquid extracted from grains during the mashing process when brewing beer. 

We brew small. Brewing hand-crafted beers in small batches has big advantages. Since brewing small batches produces small quantities (ours are about 100 gallons per batch) they’re consumed quickly and don’t require the use of fining agents, stabilizers, and pasteurization to maintain shelf life all of which have consequences when it comes to flavor and what you end up consuming.

Our mission is to produce pure, all-natural, world-class beers that bring a smile to your face. With up to twelve varieties on tap and a steady rotation of new brews all the time, there’s a fresh style for every one of your beer moods. If you can’t hang with us in the taproom or on the patio then grab some of your favorite beer to go in 32 ounce Crowler® cans. Poured fresh and sealed tight on demand.

Not into beer today? No worries – enjoy wine or some of our non-alcoholic drinks by the glass from our selection.

Cheers!
