🌍 United States · Regional · Known for a full range of styles
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.
