Brewed With Attitude, Served With a Smile

Small-batch craft beer, bold flavors, and a taproom that feels like your living room — only the stools are higher and the beer is colder.

We Started With a Tank, a Dream, and a Very Grumpy Goat

The Grumpy Goat Brewing Company was born from a simple idea: make beer that tastes like something real. Not the watered-down stuff. Not the overhyped stuff. Just honest, well-crafted beer that earns its place in your glass.

Our founders — a pair of Monroe locals who spent years traveling the country tasting every hoppy IPA and malty stout they could find — decided it was time to bring that craft home. They bought a 10-barrel system, converted a garage, and started brewing on Friday nights. By spring, the line out the door convinced them to go all in.

Today, we're proud to be Monroe's neighborhood brewery — a place where regulars know your name, the taps are always rotating, and the goat on the sign is somehow still grumpier than the day before.

The Current Rotation

Our taps change with the seasons, but these are the standbys that keep the regulars coming back.

Golden IPA in a pint glass with hop cones and citrus garnish

IPA · 7.2% ABV

Grumpy Haze

A juicy New England IPA loaded with Citra and Mosaic hops. Cloudy, tropical, and aggressively drinkable — just how we like it.

Dark stout in a tulip glass with coffee beans scattered nearby

Stout · 9.0% ABV

Midnight Bleat

Our flagship imperial stout brewed with locally sourced coffee. Dark chocolate, espresso, and a velvet finish that lingers like a bad mood.

Pale lager in a pilsner glass with a light golden hue and crisp head

Lager · 4.8% ABV

Easy Street Pils

Crisp, clean, and dangerously sessionable. A German-style pilsner that proves the simple things are often the best things.
