This Creature Beer

Happy 2022 from Public House!

Happy 2022 from the Public House Crew! Closing out a year and jumping into a new one is always an extra special time at the brewery.  We come together to reflect on all the places we’ve been and to plan for where we are headed. It’s also our official anniversary, as we first opened our doors and taps on a cold mid-December day in 2010. Little did we know that the good folks of Rolla, MO would drink us dry in a matter of days! Never would we deny the people beer, so we made more, and the rest is history. 🍻

 

11th Ale-Iversary

 

Celebrating eleven years of Public House at the Ale-Iversary Bash on Saturday, January 15th at the Rolla, MO BrewPub. There’ll be live music by John Pratt, Ozark Snappers, Bliss Hippy, and Trilogy from 6 pm  – 10 pm. In keeping with tradition, the Public House blessing will be read, and This Creature Beer barleywine ale will release during the event. This Creature Beer is a Pub exclusive and will be available in draft and 4-pack 12-ounce cans. Pub Manager Danyelle and her team will feature Pork Tacos as a special menu item – pair it with a pint of Flynn’s, and you’re headed right down to flavor town. Thank you for your love and support along this journey, and we can’t wait to see you at the Pub!

 

Flynn’s Irish Red Ale and Best Ever Beer

 

Flynn’s Irish Red Ale and it’s St. Pat’s-inspired Best Ever labeled counterpart return to our taps and across Missouri in the coming weeks. We’ll tap Flynn’s at both locations the Friday before the Ale-Iversary event, and you’ll see it hit your favorite spots and store shelves around the same time. We’re holding back Best Ever just a bit, and we’ll see those unique labels out on cans and taps around mid-February.

 

Level 2 Fall Risk DIPA

 

It’s baaaaack! You asked, and we brewed! Level 2 Fall Risk Double IPA returns on tap and in six-pack cans and a brand new label design! Previously released in the Campus Werks series, Level 2 Fall Risk is intensely hoppy without being too complex or malty.  The addition of orange blossom honey adds hints of fruity aromas to the background. With a clean, dry finish, it’s approachable and highly drinkable. Brewer Jason Stacy, for whom the beer was originally brewed, says it best, ” It is very well balanced and a bit dangerous”. Look for the release of Level 2 Fall Risk later this month.

 

Best Ever

113TH BEST EVER ST. PAT’S

That’s a wrap on the University of Missouri S&T 113th Best Ever St. Pat’s celebrations!

The week, when the university community and the Rolla community become one in revelry, was celebrated to its fullest potential. The week was full of spirit, camaraderie, traditions, and creativity to create safe celebrations.

Yes, the party is over, but the memories live on. Public House Brewing Company photographer, Eric Ginnard, while partaking in his first Best Ever, captured candid moments from two events; Rolla Chamber of Commerce 5K and the traditional painting of Pine Street.

Public House Updates

UPDATE: 4/03/2020

Public House Community,

During these unprecedented times, we, like so many others have suffered from significant downturn in business. This has forced us to stretch ourselves very thin between our locations. In an effort to stay concentrated on the community and prepare ourselves to come out on the other side of this stronger than ever, we have made a difficult decision. As of close of business today, Thursday, April 2nd we will temporarily close the Public House St James Taproom for curb side pickup and carryout service.

Our production team will still be hard at work producing your favorite Public House brews to ship to our wholesale and retail partners across the state. The Rolla brewpub will remain open!!! We will be extending our model to include delivery service starting tomorrow, Friday, April 3rd. We are also working on extending our curbside and delivery service to seven days a week.

For those of you that would still like to pick-up beer closer to St. James we will be offering curbside pickup of Public House beer at the St James Winery Tasting Room.

We will keep you informed as the situation evolves. For real-time updates per location, you can follow the local Taproom social media pages for updates.

Stay safe and take care,
Public House Brewing Company

Best Ever & Flynn’s Irish Red

Some of you around the Rolla, MO area may have noticed Public House Best Ever Irish Red in stores. If you’re from Rolla – then you get it. If you’re not, here’s the story.

Each year, Rolla, MO is home to a spectacular St. Pat’s bash. Students and alumni from Missouri University of Science & Technology paint Pine Street (the main street running through downtown Rolla) green and a parade ensues, amongst many forms of revelry. With this local tradition happening in our hometown, it was befitting of us to create a beer perfect for the occasion.

“It’s been a long time coming, but we’re so excited to release this beautiful, commemorative beer in alignment with one of our city’s greatest celebrations,” explained Josh Stacy, Public House Co-founder.

Best Ever Irish Red is our seasonal beer, Flynn’s Irish Red, just with a commemorative label for those in the Rolla area to enjoy. The term “Best Ever” stands for The Best Ever St. Patrick’s Day because each year St. Pat’s in Rolla, MO just keeps getting better and better.

The art includes a deck of cards and features Saint Patrick holding a shillelagh (a walking stick used to ward off snakes) in one hand and a serpent in the other. This represents the story of Saint Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland, which students at Missouri S&T have incorporated into their annual festivities. Learn more about Missouri S&T St. Pat’s traditions here.

So, when you crack open a Best Ever Irish Red, you’ll be enjoying an extremely sessionable beer that lends itself well to this holiday. The malt-forward, toasty character of this ale will inspire you to revel in St. Patrick’s Day making every sip, the… Best Ever. Cheers!

For more details about the history of St. Patrick’s Day in Rolla, MO read here.

ABV: 5% | IBU: 20 | SRM: 21
