If coming with a large group of eight or more, please call ahead. After the tour, guests can purchase beer in the tap room. For safety reasons, small children are not allowed on the tour.

Heretic also brews a series of fruit sours called Agony (because it’s agony waiting for them to mature in the oak barrels!) They also have rotating Belgians, Stouts and Barleywines and have special releases throughout the year.

Heretic also offers a distillery tasting room that features four flavors of vodka and three types of gin, all distilled from beer made at the brewery from the tanks seen inside the Confessional.
