How We Started
Our Story
Anvil & Forge came to fruition in late 2018 out of passion for local craft beer and distilled products. Brothers and business partners Mike, John, and Adam Zerkle opened the doors of Anvil & Forge in historic downtown Springfield, IL.
ABOUT THE BEER
We love great beer and creating an atmosphere that people want to be a part of. In our hearts and minds - that starts locally, we grew up in Springfield and we wanted to share our craft with the community. So, we have always had a local first mentality, we used local and American made (USA!) products in the build out of our taproom. The brewing equipment is manufactured right here in Illinois and our still was made in the heart of bourbon country by one of the largest copper still makers out there.

Our Space
From the very beginning, we had our hearts set on being a part of the revitalization of downtown Springfield. But this movement is more than building a beautiful room, it’s about contributing to a mindset of community as well.
Grab a seat at one of our long, family-style tables in our community-oriented tasting room. We're proud to welcome families with kids of all ages; Grab a board game, a slice of pizza, and a glass of craft beer for a grand old time.
