Hellbender Brewing Company was created out of a true love for the art, culture, history, and science of craft brewing. Just taste the beer we produce, and you will see the difference. We have created every recipe as an artistic interpretation of an existing style, and refined it with years of tasting and fine tuning. All of our flagship beer ingredients come from American brewing supply companies that source ingredients from the American midwest and northeast. The majority of the hops that we use are grown in Oregon and Washington State, but some of our specialty beers will be brewed with hops from our very own farm in upstate New York.

It's a shame but not entirely unexpected. Hellbender made fine beer, it was just very conventional. The market is crowded now - breweries can't skate by on the standard saison, IPA, brown ale, porter tap list anymore. There needs to be a creative identity to anchor a brewery and Hellbender just didn't have it. Hellbender Brewing Company. 5788 2nd St NE, Washington, D.C. Just north of Fort Totten, Hellbender is a go-to neighborhood hang for lazy afternoons, birthday parties, and all things in between. Tours head off on Saturdays from 3 p.m. And there are no reservations or fees required. Stay for some board games and a few.
