The story of Dragan Brewing and Wine Company did not begin like other breweries or wineries.

One would think that an idea like this would sprout into existence as a product of a drinking session with friends, but instead theirs began with a bedtime story told by their founder to his 6-month-old son, Dragan.

The story soon became a vision of a company that would strive to be better and make a difference. Not just in their products but with theirr employees, customers, business partners, fellow breweries/wineries and the communities that they live in.

For over 20 years, The Merchant Ale House has been brewing a wide variety of unique beers, always served fresh from grain to glass.
