PERHAM – After months of construction and social media excitement, Disgruntled Brewing is set to open its craft brewery and public taproom in Perham.

A soft opening and official “first pour” was held Sunday.

Brett Doebbeling, co-owner and head brewer of Disgruntled Brewing, brings years of brewing experience to the business.

“The building may be new, but the plans to open the brewery have been in the works for six years,” he said in a press release. “Disgruntled Brewing came from my determination to craft the best beer possible. For years, my family and friends said I’m always a bit ‘disgruntled’ about finding quality craft beer. The disgruntled description stuck and has now become our brand.”

The taproom’s interior design features windows overlooking the brewing area so patrons can view the equipment - from brew house to fermenters and kegs - and see where the beer is created.

“What began as a personal pastime has now evolved into the business of brewing great beer for the public,” Doebbeling said. “We use only choice hops and fine malt, and if it takes a little grumbling to get results, it’s worth it.”

Disgruntled Brewing is located in the industrial park in Perham, at 735 2nd St. NE. Taproom hours are Thursday through Saturday, 3-10 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
