John Russell Brewing Company

Talk Beer. Taste Beer. Enjoy Beer.

The Art of Brewing has become a part of our Craft Beer Culture.

The owners of the U Pick 6 Pubs & Restaurants decided to start brewing! Driven by the love of craft beer, the art of brewing has now become a part of the U Pick 6 family! We expanded & transformed the original U Pick 6 Beer Store into the John Russell Brewing Company Brew House & Restaurant! Our craft beer culture creates a love for new beer styles, new seasonals as seasons change & your classic favorites. Our craft beer-inspired menu compliments our tap selections and features like our new wood-fired brick oven & our open-view brewing environment makes for a unique experience!

The owners, John Melody & Russ Stachewicz, have poured their labor and pride into the craft beer community. It only makes sense to pour a beer with their names on it.

*John Russell Brewing Company is temporarily closed! We are still brewing our beers that you can enjoy at any U Pick 6 Pub location or Pier 6 Rooftop Bar & Restaurant. Thank you for Understanding!*
