ABOUT:  

Grainology was founded by two people with a passion for creating craft beverages and sharing them with those around us.

 

The building Grainology chose comes to us with a rich history. This building was built in 1902 to house the US Wind Engine & Pump Company foundry. The company was founded by Daniel Halladay, John Burnham, and John VanNortwick and moved to Batavia, IL. in 1863. They manufactured windmills, feed pumps, farming equipment, and railroad fixtures. Our building was constructed to use as the foundry for the company. During World War II, this foundry, along with the other foundries operating in Batavia at the time, were used to make armaments and supplies for the United States Military. U.S. Wind Engine & Pump received the Army Navy E Award, an award recognizing “Excellence in Production” during war time.

ABOUT:

When we’re out with friends relaxing after a long work day, or celebrating. (And there’s always something to celebrate.)   You want to grab drinks with friends. You don’t want to wake up feeling like crap.

And the two shouldn’t be mutually exclusive.  If you’re like us, you’ve tried to cut back but always ended up with a drink in hand anyway. And maybe you’ve wondered if there was an alternative that could help you feel better the next day, not worse.

​

At Go Brewing, we get it. 

​

That’s why we’ve been working since 2020 to craft an entire lineup of beers aimed at helping people just like you enjoy brews that taste good and are better for you.   Less alcohol, fewer calories… More productive tomorrows.

ABOUT: 

Growing up, Brewmaster Paul Kreiner and his extended family spent summer vacations in a small town in central Wisconsin where every day at noon the town whistle blew. The sounding of the noon whistle indicated it was time to crack open the first beer of the day. This tradition was about drinking great beer of course, but more importantly creating lasting memories with family and friends.
