Gray Willow began when four friends looking to do something fun together, decided to renovate a local landmark, open a restaurant, brew their own beer, and create a place where others, like them, will gather to make lasting memories together.

Our Brewers...
The Schlenker Brothers - Chris, Jody, and Matt
The Schlenker Brothers have been brewing together for over 30 years. Their passion for brewing began long before craft beer had gained its popularity and is attributed to the decades of learning every nuance of the process alongside their father. Our Brewmasters, led by beer savant Chris, are part chemist, part botanist, part beerologist, and all parts about the process! We are honored and grateful for their expertise, patience and genuine friendship throughout this process.
Joe & Lisa Salvino and Paul Buchanan
Having worked side by side with our brewmaster mentors for more than a year now, this family team is quickly becoming the heart and soul of Gray Willow's brewing operation. Their passion for the process and the product shines through in each of our taps.
