About Roe Jan Brewing Co.
Roe Jan Brewing Co. is a brewpub and beer garden in Hillsdale. It sits in a building that dates to 1851, and the owners bought it in June 2018 after it had stood largely empty for nearly 20 years. They lifted it six feet to rebuild the foundation, then restored it.
The dining room has an open kitchen and an octagonal bar built around an antique grain hopper. The hopper is left over from the days when the building was a feed supply store. The kitchen turns out pub fare, and the beer is made on site.
A covered outdoor patio is framed in cedar beams, with a heater over each table for cooler months. Dogs are welcome in any of the outdoor spaces, and the staff provide dog bowls and outdoor water taps.
Live regional music fills the weekends, and trivia nights are on the calendar too. Private parties are welcome, and brewery tours can be arranged by appointment.
