A Personal Tour of the Big Rock Brewery

If you have never been there you should definitely go…Big Rock Brewery. Here’s a preview from the Beer Maven to wet your whistle. As seen on justbeerapp.com For those of you unfamiliar with Big Rock Breweries a little background is in order. Big Rock was founded in 1985 and was the genius child of Mr. Ed McNally.
