Slow Pour Brewing Company is a small production brewery located near the historic square in downtown Lawrenceville, GA. The brewery opened on September 15, 2017 and has been expanding ever since, more than doubling fermentation capacity since opening. The brewery is housed in a 11,000 sq ft historic building built in 1910, and the tasting room has an elegant rich feel with interior walls of plaster and patina brick, and columns, beams, and a ceiling all made of local cypress. Slow Pour offers a unique customer experience with the interior ambiance, a variety of games, a large communal patio, and 8+ beers on tap.
Slow Pour beers represent a wide range of styles and flavor profiles to suit craft beer newbies and connoisseurs alike. The brewery currently makes 3 year-round brands – two IPAs and a dry American Blonde- (both on draft and in cans), 4 draft-only seasonals, and many other distributed and taproom-exclusive one-offs. All beers that are available in the tasting room are also available in crowlers for take-away from the brewery, and Slow Pour beer is currently distributed to over 100 on-premise and off-premise retailers.
The brewery currently consists of a direct-fire 2-vessel 10 BBL brewing system with 5 fermentation vessels (1 10BBL, 2 20BBLs, and 2 30BBLs) and one 20 BBL brite tank. Most fermentation tanks are used as uni-tanks. The brewery mills its own grains and has an automated keg washer/filler, and Slow Pour also utilizes a local mobile canning company.
