This place oozes authenticity. So do the founders, brothers Jeff and Jason Alexander.
Free Range Brewing is different, and it’s about to blow up.

- Taproom is family friendly and they’re not just saying that. There’s a kids play area and non-sugary soda on tap. I tried the soda and it was delicious – made by Jaime Swofford (legit).
- Creating Free Range Brewing was a family effort. Jason’s father-in-law Bob did the woodwork and his mother-in-law Peggy did the tile.
