BuckleDown Brewing

DREAM BIG & Work Hard

BuckleDown Brewing was originally conceived in the summer of 2012. Ike, a long-time homebrewer, was ready to take the plunge into brewing professionally. And after a crash-course in production brewing courtesy of Haymarket’s Pete Crowley, the BuckleDown dream came to life. Months of planning, bank meetings, carpentry, welding and plumbing work culminated as we opened our doors in December 2013.

Ike continues to have a hand in all brewing operations. A huge fan of classic beer styles, Ike’s influence is on display everyday with our taproom beer list. From hoppy IPAs to clean-drinking lagers, we put an emphasis on consistently flavorful beers brewed with dedication and skill. None of this would be possible without the other pillar of BuckleDown, Michelle Orcutt. A long-time entrepreneur, Michelle closed her flower business to take over the business operations of BuckleDown. From managing inventory to negotiating lease extensions, Michelle keeps the business on a solid path and makes sure the beer keeps flowing.
