Our Story
For the love of flavor
Dancing Gnome was germinated in 2014 with the simple understanding that there was a whole world of unexplored flavor. Two years of pilot batches and industry education led to the creation of our house pale ale, Lustra, and the taproom opening on October 1st, 2016. Early on, we focused exclusively on hop forward styles, utilizing the potent flower to illicit pungent and intoxicating effects on the entirety of the olfactory system. We’re extremely proud of our little pale ale Lustra, and what we’ve accomplished using the flavor forward mindset.
