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.

Meet Our Staff

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

The details of my life are quite inconsequential. My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we’d make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it’s breathtaking, I suggest you try it. 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.
