Our History

Dave has owned a restaurant for over 20 years. He's always had a passion for food and beer. After adding on the bar side of the restaurant, he still felt he needed something more. He then realized that he could bring his love of beer to the community by building a brewery. He and Tina set out to find a space and began a business plan on how to get it all done. There were quite a few obstacles to overcome including, power outages and COVID 19. A few times they both wondered how they would get through it all, but they overcame and persevered and finally, after two years of construction, opened in October 2020. How did we get the name "Bullmastiff Brewing?" - Dave and Tina have two Bullmastiff's named Mac & Annabelle. When we were thinking about brewery names we looked at eachother and said "let's name it after the dogs!"

Brewery Vision

We wanted a casual atmosphere in which people would look forward to coming to. Dog-friendly, friendly bartenders and amazing beer. We live in a small community and know many of our customers. We want the community to be proud of the brewery. We pride ourselves in hiring local and out-sourcing locally as much as we can.
