About Allerton

Allerton Brewing Company was founded in 2019 by local brewers Lucas Gray and Brandon Mikel, with Pete Gaumer coming on board in early 2020.  The brewery is currently owned and operated by Lucas Gray and Pete Gaumer. The brewery, located in downtown Independence, features a 2 bbl brew system, taproom, and outdoor patio.

Allerton Brewing Company was named after this noble horse who gained recognition in Independence, IA. Independence was referred to as “The Lexington of the North” due to the many world records set at the kite track of Rush Park. The Rush Park era (1888-1893) was a very important time in Independence’s history that we will pay tribute to through our brewery and taproom operations.
