GOOD NEWS BREWING COMPANY
Bringing Faith, Craft Beer, Pizza and Community Together
OUR CALLING
We met in a Bible Study and started brewing beer together with our friends and family. We crafted our skill of making beer and pizza, and now we are sharing it with you.
-
We are not a restaurant and we are not a bar. We are a brewery that serves wood-fired pizza.
-
We are a gathering place where families, friends, outdoor enthusiasts and dog lovers can come together and share Good News over a pint.
-
We are about making friends, and having fun, and providing hospitality for your party, wedding or other special occasion.
-
Have you ever been to a place and asked someone for a beer and they said, let me find your server? That won’t happen at our brewery, as we believe in teamwork and we are all here to serve you.
-
Overall, we are driven by our faith and want to be generous and cheerful givers to our community.

OUR STORY
It all started in 2003 when Dan received a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas. The beer made it into the fermenter…and then sat there for five years. He gave up on brewing until he discovered a local homebrew store and began brewing extract kits in a turkey fryer. There were more bad batches than good ones—ask him sometime about the infamous root beer–flavored brown ale (this was before root beer ales were cool).
As Dan improved, he moved into all-grain brewing and eventually built an electric brewing setup in his basement. It was going great—until he almost burned the house down and flooded the finished basement with wort.
​
Around 2014, during a Mission Community (Bible Study) group at church, Dan began sharing his brewing journey with friends. The group often joked about the mishaps, experiments, and lessons learned along the way. During this season, the group began exploring the book Flesh by Hugh Halter, which teaches the power of sharing The Good News by being fully present with people—having fun, celebrating, gathering, and doing life together.
That message struck a chord. The group decided to host monthly brew nights where friends, family, neighbors, and anyone who needed community were welcomed. They would brew an extra five gallons every month just to give away and share. Guests brought stories, laughter, and their own good news, and a simple monthly gathering became the heartbeat of something bigger.
Today, with the help of our head brewer, we continue that same mission and spirit—creating a place where people can gather, eat, drink, and share life together. We’re grateful for the opportunity to share Good News with you, because everyone loves Good News.
Now, with the help of our head brewer, we have the opportunity to share Good News with you, because Everyone loves Good News.
