Rocket Republic Brewing Company

Rocket Republic Brewing Company, Inc. is a craft brewery located in Madison, Alabama incorporated in Alabama in March 2013. The brewery received their state ABC license in July 2013[1] and successfully launched their beers on September 6, 2013. The launch day was held at The Nook, a beer bar in Huntsville, Alabama and launch beers were Vapor Trail Cream Ale and Astronut Brown Ale.

Brewing

Rocket Republic ceased contract brewing, started brewing out of their own facility in March of 2015 and opened their tap room on March 17, 2015, St. Patrick's Day. All beer is produced out of their 10,000 square foot warehouse space[2] converted into a functioning brewery. As part of this project, the brewery launched a successful Indiegogo campaign whereby contributors could become "citizens" and earn extra perks to be part of the build-out process.[3]

Tap Room

The tap room is kid-friendly and offers non-alcoholic sodas and water.

The brewery is the western-most in Madison County and is the closest to Huntsville International Airport, making it a favorite for travelers with easy access via cabs and Uber; and it's only 15 minutes to downtown Huntsville via I-565.


Equipment

Rocket Republic owns a 15 bbl direct fire brewhouse from San Diego based Premier Stainless.

gollark: "Unlimited" seemingly meaning "1TB a month then you get a lower speed".
gollark: Here in the UK it seems that you can get unlimited mobile data plans pretty cheaply, which is nice.
gollark: Data caps kind of make sense in that they get people to reduce usage a lot but allow high-bandwidth access when needed... but are very annoying.
gollark: I think the idea is to provide a better alternative to existing satellite services, and to also compete against ADSL-type connections in rural areas.
gollark: It's better than existing satellite services.
