Locals claim it as their own. Curious seekers make it a destination. Set in a former movie theater, our brewery is completely comfortable, almost familiar and nostalgic. AE is welcoming to families as well as craft beer lovers thirsty for the limited edition and the novelty glass. Friends can gather here for a special private party, and movie lovers can catch an old flick. All can savor the highest quality craft beer and gourmet food made from the freshest ingredients.
