Dupont Brewery

Founded in 1950, it is on a working farm which dates back to 1759 and has significant brewing history.

The brewery's copper boiling kettles date from the 1920s, but there are also a number of pieces of modern equipment in use in the brewhouse.

Square, flat-bottomed fermentation tanks of stainless steel are utilized to provide specific flavor characteristics that are evident in the finished beer.

The distinctive Dupont house yeast strain has been the subject of much speculation and discussion.

The complexity of flavors it generates has caused some to suggest that in fact a combination of multiple strains are used, and its good performance at high temperatures and signature spiciness have led some to conjecture that it was originally a red wine strain that has been adapted to beer fermentation.
