Nestled in the scenic Vermilion County of Illinois, Big Thorn Farm and Brewery stands out as an off-grid farm brewery founded by Anna Schweig and Aaron Young in 2016. Their commitment to sustainability is evident through their solar-powered brewery and cellar-fermented beers that change with the seasons. The brewery offers a unique outdoor experience with two taprooms: The Tree Bar for May through October, and The Greenhouse Bar from October to April. Both venues provide an escape where visitors can enjoy the outdoors while sipping on their signature beers or grabbing some delicious food from The Truck.
