Littleport Brewing Company

About

Longtime homebrewers and owners of one of Southeast Wisconsin’s top home brew stores (Hop to It), Mark and Chris took the plunge to move to commercial brewing back in June 2016. Mark and Chris are no strangers to hard work supporting Wisconsin’s brewing heritage. Back in 2011-12, they took to the Wisconsin Legislature to fight for the rights of homebrewers to enjoy their tasty hobby. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue decided the year prior that homebrew was ONLY allowed to be consumed in the home where it was brewed. That meant no sharing with friends, no bringing it to tastings of local homebrew clubs, and no entering it into competitions. Mark and Chris aggressively lobbied the members of the Legislature’s committee, including Republican Senator Van Wanggaard (R-Racine) and Democratic Senator Bob Wirch (D-Kenosha) to support homebrewers. And they won. Taking the next step to support Wisconsin’s brewing tradition, the Flynns undertook a massive restoration and renovation of their warehouse on 3rd & Wisconsin over the next 4 years, transforming a historic building into Littleport Brewing Company.
