BREWERIES
Tono Brewing
Tono Brewing opened in 2018 as a community brewery in the heart of town, dedicated to bringing both locals and visitors closer to great beer, locally-grown hops, and the growers responsible for making it all possible. With a restaruant on-site at the brewery, Tono Brewing is the perfect place for a casual get-together over a pint of freshly brewed beer and locally-inspired eats.

Signature Beers
-
Pale Ale
Tono Brewing’s flagship offering features citrus-forward hops like Cascade, Chinook, and Citra. A fresh, juicy, and sessionable light-bodied beer.
-
Coffee Stout
The Coffee Stout uses mocha beans sourced from Mamehiko, a local coffee shop and roastery. With a light hint of elegant bitterness, this may be the perfect introduction to dark beer. Pairs wonderfully with cheese cake and desserts.
-
Thanks Saison
Using 100% Ibuki hops grown in partnership with a young local hop farmer, the name was chosen to express deep gratitude to the beautiful land and community. Ibuki imparts a clean, refreshing aroma with a pleasant hint of acidity.
-
ESB
The ESB features Ibuki hops from Tono. Roasty on the nose with notes of ripe figs and strawberries, delicate nuances evolve throughout its long finish.
