This year marks the 10th anniversary of Bathtub Row Brewing Co-op, one of only eight brewing co-ops in the country.

The Tub opened its doors after several years of planning and fundraising on April 22, 2015. Just over a month later, on May 24, 2015, the first Tub beers were released.

What started with just 100 original members has now grown to over 1,200 lifetime members. Last year the Tub was able to pay off all member loans, and saw record sales, just $30,000 shy of the $1 million mark.

Since opening, the Tub has built a patio space with a firepit, renovated the “back 40” outdoor space, and added an outdoor service operation for the warmer months. In 2023, they upgraded to a 7-barrel brewhouse.

“What started as an idea by a small group of dedicated and hard-working people willing to take a chance on a new concept has grown and thrived,” said General Manager Doug Osborn. “We are a huge part of this community.”

The Tub remains true to its roots as a gathering spot for the community. “Welcome home!” says Osborn.

There are a number of events planned to celebrate this milestone, so mark your calendars.
