The Brewery

Craft beer on tap at Reads Landing Brewing Co

Our Brewer

Craig Moechnig has returned to his roots at Reads Landing!  His ancestors migrated from Germany to the United States in 1858 and landed right here at Reads Landing! As a 6th generation resident of Lake City, Craig is very familiar with the beautiful Driftless region and Upper Mississippi River Valley.  Craig has been an employee with K&K Brewing since 2019 and started brewing for us in 2020.  His background in brewing started as a home brewer in 1998.  Over the years he has honed his brewing skills in large and small breweries across the state and has showcased many award winning beers and meads in state competitions.  Craig’s extensive brewing experience will give Reads Landing Brewing Company the opportunity to expand our beer library with more traditional tap favorites and interesting one off and small batch brews.  Craig loves to make beer and talk about beer! You can catch him behind the bar on Saturday and Sunday evenings.

Ingredients

Our Ingredients

Our ingredients are purchased from local vendors per brew to ensure freshness and quality.  Our grains are purchased whole and milled on-site.  We also mill our brewer’s grains for a local bakery that produces our burger and sandwich buns.  Our spent grains are donated to a local farmer.

Our Brewhouse

We utilize an all-grain, 3-vessel, 3-barrel all-electric brewhouse with a Brewmation control panel.

Fermenter

Our Fermenters

The wort is pumped into a separate temperature controlled fermentation room where it goes through a traditional fermenting and conditioning process.

Our Serving Tanks

The finished beer is held in our brite tanks in a third “cooler room” that feeds directly to our taps upstairs.
