This is our original equipment that we purchased from barrel house brewery in Cincinnati. Before coming to ABQ, this brewhouse never saw more than 2,200 bbls/year. 8,400 bbls was brewed on the brewhouse in 2014. It has produced some exceptional beers and it has been well maintained.
If you want to make delicate lagers, here is your chance for a decoction/step mash brewhouse. If you want to make hop bombs, we have added as much as 58 lbs. to this kettle without clogging the heat-x. No soured beers, whether accidental or purposeful have been brewed on or near this brewhouse since 2010.
$150,000 takes it all. Buyer is responsible for rigging and shipping.
Serious inquiries only. No tire kickers. If you’re funded and in need of a brewhouse, Century made some of the beefiest
