Our Story

For more than 25 years, Rhodell Brewery has been serving the Peoria area with a wide variety of the highest quality hand-crafted beers. In 1998, our brewer moved from Edinburgh, Scotland to his wife’s hometown of Peoria and opened Rhodell Brewery with only three beers on tap. Since that time, the brewery has expanded to 12 tap handles and a traditional British hand pump becoming Central Illinois’ oldest operating brewery.

As beer lovers ourselves, we source only the finest ingredients from around Europe, the UK, and some of the finest craft producers across the United States. Our small batch brewing capabilities give us the flexibility to provide an ever-evolving range of unique and exciting beers, and we continue to experiment to ensure we deliver some of the most interesting, flavorful beers you’ll find anywhere.

The best way to get to know us and our beer is to come join us. Stop into our taproom and enjoy a pint on premise, or fill a pint-sized, mini, or full-sized growler to enjoy the best Rhodell Brewery has to offer anywhere.
