Our Story

Do what you want and don’t let anyone stand in your way.

That's Evil Horse – the name of an undersized Appaloosa mare with an oversized desire to never be tamed. Evil Horse refused to be conquered and changing her mind became a challenge that few succeeded in accomplishing.

In the humble beginnings, our desire to brew legendary craft beer was a burning fire in our hearts. Inspired by that Appaloosa’s attitude – Evil Horse made the vow to create and serve the best beer possible, and for 8 years nothing stood in our way.

Fast forward to 2025, post COVID and found living in a new world...... Evil Horse was forced to change, bow down and rise again to remain a place to host, serve, and enjoy great local microbrewery beers, crafted of the finest ingredients by our industry friends.

Evil Horse remains unbridled and unconquered to this day, as has our passion to bring you an exceptional craft taphouse experience that all can enjoy with family and friends.

Do what you want and don’t let anyone stand in your way. That was Evil Horse – the name of our undersized appaloosa mare with an oversized desire to never be ridden. Owned by our Brewmaster; she refused to be conquered, and riding her became a challenge that many attempted and few succeeded. For those that got bucked off, we’d drink a beer in your honor – one that we took pride in crafting ourselves.
