Flywheel Brewing

BRINGING BREWING BACK TO THE HEARTLAND

Our Story

Our Brand: Homage To Fundamentals

The momentum of a spinning wheel powered the progress of man. From printing presses to the mechanics of manufacturing, the Flywheel fostered our intellect and enabled our industry. We honor that simple machine and that simpler time, by bringing brewing back to the heartland. The momentum of change favors local craft beers and we are redeveloping beers and a responsible beer culture that has long been absent from Elizabethtown. Let The Wheel Turn!

Our Philosophy

We believe in the power of a good beer to break down social barriers, and that a community needs a relaxing space where neighbors can gather to form bonds and lasting friendships. In an atmosphere choked with cookie-cutter corporate chains, we celebrate our identity as a breath of fresh air and strive to bring Elizabethtown its own unique beers, helping it to cultivate its own local beer culture.

Aaron

FOH MANAGER / HEAD OF MARKETING
What a tough guy! Despite his affinity for striking old-timey muscleman poses, Aaron is really just a softy. He is clearly the looks of this operation and would have to be the ‘dreamboat’ of this boyband of a brewery. While Aaron makes a damned fine beer, he has taken it upon himself to be in charge of selling our damned fine beer. Come in and Aaron will make sure he pours you only the finest beer produced in all of Hardin County.

Ashley

SUPREME MINISTER OF FINANCE
A big hitter, the “Lam-a,” seeks total beer consciousness on his deathbed. So he’s got that going for him. Aside from that, Ashley practices being both a know-it-all and complete idiot, frequently at the same time. This will undoubtedly help him in adding and subtracting Aaron’s beer sales. Suffice it to say, he enjoys beer and hopes to help spread that enjoyment to others in various capacities. He hopes to parlay the beer gig into being the drummer for Spinal Tap’s final reunion tour someday. Until then, he will be working on making E-town a craft beer destination. Come by the brewery and chat him up about your favorite beers.

JoshD

Creative Director / Head of Brewing Operations
Despite having spent most of his college years occupying various administration buildings, joshd. learned lots of big words. He would say that he has the best words. He would also say that he will build a better beer, such a fantastic beer that everyone will love it. He’ll tell you that everyone already loves it, in fact, that’s all they’re talking about and he hears it everywhere he goes. joshd. might look harmless, but he’s clearly not altogether there. For your own safety, please keep your fingers away from his mouth.

Landon

Assistant Brewer
Every brewery has to have a brewer with a killer beard right? Thanks to landon we can check that box. When he’s not brewing beer, cleaning kettles and kegs, or doing whatever else it is you do to make beer, he’s slinging that delicious beer to you behind the bar.

Well versed in all things bar talk, Josh is your go to to shoot the breeze.  Knowledgeable in most any topic, there’s a reason he’s the trivia night beertender.  And if he tells you to take a hike, don’t be offended,  he probably actually wants to take a hike with you.  A veteran of the AT, he’s gearing up to hike the PCT in 2020.

The newby around here, Briana brings a sense of calm to the taproom.  Don’t try to stress her out, you’ll fail.  Trust us, we tried by baptizing her by fire her first few shifts.

Beau is both a garrulous bartender but also one who strives for efficiency, which is why he just gave us the link he already had made to a pre-made, lengthy About Me: kaelinbiology.weebly.com/about-me.html
