Learn about how they started in their basement after purchasing a beer brewing kit, got hooked on the hobby, made too much beer, shared it with others, and the rest is history. At the time of this video in 2016, they had a 20-barrel production facility and employed 47 people at Mill House Brewing Company. When they got new equipment to increase their production, Rhinebeck Bank financed it. Watch the video here, and tour the brewery!
