Known for a full range of styles

Founded in August 2014 by four friends — Mark Bjornstad (an anesthesiologist), Darin Montplaisir (Head Brewer), Jesse Feigum ('Head of Nerdery'), and Mason Montplaisir (an engineer) — who homebrewed together in a garage for seven years before going professional. The name 'Drekker' is rooted in Old Norse: drekka (to drink), drekkyr (draught drink), and drakkar (Viking longship). Now producing 10,000 barrels annually from Brewhalla — a converted railroad shop housing a food market, event center, and hotel. Known nationally for hazy IPAs and inventive fruited sours.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
