In 2020, Manhattan Brewing Company opened it's doors in the middle of an era of uncertainty, but thanks to community support, the company is continuing to grow.
"The only words we can say is grateful. I mean, we're so thankful for the Manhattan community for keeping us open and trusting us...trusting in us, drinking our beers, having a good times with us." Manhattan Brewing Company, co-owner, Jake Voegeli says.
Voegeli, along with Adam Krebsbach and Garrett Paulman met while working for Tallgrass Brewing Company, following the closing of the brewing company, the trio decided to open a locally focused brewery.
With more than 20 years experience between them, the trio continues to create craft beers and provide a welcoming atmosphere with a unique vibe.
Celebrating their 2nd anniversary, the group opted for the theme, 'Super Soft 2nd Anniversary party' adding unicorns and pastel colored balloons and decor throughout the building.
"That's something we wanted to do here is have a lot of fun with it. Throw the pink everywhere and rainbows...Super soft was from 'Letterkenny' and we kind of wanted to...let's just throw a really cool super soft party and have pink and unicorns and rainbows lower deck because we have a bunch of decorations." Voegeli says.
As part of the anniversary celebration they tapped 2 unique glitter beers on Friday evening at 5:00 pm, these specialty beers were made with edible glitter.
The birthday party continues throughout the weekend, celebrating two years in the Manhattan community.
"We love this community so much and we are so appreciative of everything they've done for us. The fact that they were willing to come out here and spend their hard earned dollars onour beer, just makes us feel really special and really proud to be here. We're so looking forward to spending the next 40 to 50 years here making some good beer, and having fun." Voegeli says.
