History

In February 1991, the Red Oak brewpub was opened in Greensboro, NC. As the beer grew in popularity and distribution, production needs exceeded the brewpub’s capacity.

New brewery

Opened in summer 2007, the brewery began bottling 12-packs of beer in late 2009 after a $1 million expansion, including a new bottling line. The brewery is capable of producing 60,000 barrels a year.

German influence

All Red Oak beer is made according to the 1516 Bavarian Purity Law known as the Reinheitsgebot. The beer is unfiltered, unpasteurized and without preservatives.
