White Rooster Farmhouse Brewery’s focus is on preserving the art of traditional methods of brewing and fermentation using barrel aging processes.
Owners Chris Van Horn, Michael Deutschmann, and Eric Ogilvie had a plan for the beer: farmhouse style – barrel-aged, sours, wild fermentation methods and yeast-driven flavors. These are funky beers for people who don’t usually like funky beers. And for people who do. That’s the thing about this place: A tucked-away spot inside a tiny Illinois town, named after a pet rooster and inspired by an ironically named farm party is turning out fantastically innovative beer that’s making brewers, beer-lovers and even novices ask for another.
