If you are tired of the adult beverage you normally pick, there is good news for you: Hays-based Defiance Brewery now has a taproom.

“It was a necessity. It was always in the planning,” said co-founder Dylan Sultzer. “We just had to get the beer right first.”

After two months of construction the taproom has finally opened at the brewery, located at 2050 E. Old U.S. 40. The public is welcome to stop by and try several different beverages offered.

Some of the old favorites including Thrasher, Willy Nilly and Gutch will be available. The public will also have a chance to sample newbies such as Happy Feet and Monkey Hoedown.

Head brewer Travis Reynolds described Happy Feet as a “German-style wheat beer with a tart finish.”

Sultzer said you can get beer on the run, with growlers to go also for sale. When you purchase a growler and bring it back, you get it filled at a discounted price.

To check out the different styles and beers offered by the brewery, visit their Facebook page or website. Defiance will have a calendar on the site to let the public know when the next beer will be tapped and what it is.

The brewery also will soon offer tours on Saturday. According to the website, Defiance will not serve food at the taproom, but will occasionally have food trucks on hand. Craft sodas also will be available for those younger than 21.
