Scratch Brewing Company is a small farmhouse brewery located five miles from the Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois. Named one of the top four breweries for foraged beer by Outside Magazine, and one of the most beautiful places to drink beer in the world by All About Beer Magazine, Scratch Brewing Company focuses on farmhouse beers and other styles brewed with home grown and locally farmed and foraged ingredients. The brewery has an ever rotating selection of styles enhanced by the innovative addition of local ingredients, such as nettle, elderberry, ginger, dandelion, maple sap, hickory, lavender, juniper, and chanterelle mushrooms. 

Earlier this year we traveled to Scratch to partake in a day of foraging and brewing with owners Marika Josephson and Aaron Kleidon and learn how they create beer that showcases the terroir of Southern Illinois. Today we invite you to join us for an insider’s look at Scratch Brewing.

A live Q&A will follow the screening of this mini documentary.
