About Henderson Brewing Co.
Henderson Brewing Co. is a brewery and taproom at 2nd Street in the Gateway District of Henderson. The beers are sold only in the taproom. The brewery says it opened Henderson's first commercial brewery in over 80 years.
Five local families started it so Henderson could have a beer to call its own. The head brewer, Doug Laramie, brews on a three barrel brewhouse in the same building. The taproom pours a wide variety of styles brewed on site, and the core beers stay true to style.
The building was once the Bright Spot Tavern, dating back to the late 1800s. The taproom honors that history and some of the sights of present day Henderson. Kids and dogs are both welcome, and the patio has picnic tables and cornhole boards. Snacks include soft pretzels and Metzger's Beer Cheese.
