Wharf Hill Brewing Company

Description

In 2011, the Elk’s building was for sale and falling apart. Building owner, and original WHBC owner Lee Duncan saw an opportunity to do something with the space. Now there’s a brewpub in a 1906 building that has more stories than the packing plant has hams, and if you’d like, here’s a bit about it: Lee is a big fan old material—it’s full of character and forgiving for the imprecise carpenter—and we’ve got it in Spades. Every board and nail hole in WHBC is a century-old or more and originated from the building itself or some doomed structure nearby. Nothing was removed from restorable buildings, only from places that the owners wanted down and gone. Because the structures were built a century ago or more, they are American-made, cut from older, slow-growth trees, and unique to the area (yellow pine!)
