OCTOBER FEATURED BREWER:
ONE LEGGED PHEASANT BREWERY
“We’re gearing up for different beers for fall,” said Dave Welling, owner and founder of One Legged Pheasant Brewery. “We’re doing Oktoberfest, stouts, bourbon barrel aged, and things of that nature to get ready for the colder weather.”
Located in Aberdeen, One Legged Pheasant opened in September of 2018.
“We’re the only production brewery in Aberdeen. When you come in, you can relax, chill out, have a nice craft beer, and have a good time.”
From the taproom that has nine tap beers, the brewing setup can be seen. A back room also has space for events.
“We have a clean, industrial atmosphere,” said Welling. “We like to back that up with a friendly, informative staff, which is all family.”
Welling and his daughter tag team running the taproom.
This month, One Legged Pheasant is celebrating its third anniversary and joining Visit Aberdeen in the celebration of Oktoberfest on October 23.
Referencing the origin of the word pheasant, Welling says that he’s brewing the same recipe for Oktoberfest, Cocktoberfest.
“We’re going to be full blown set up here, serving that beer, and I’ll be backing it up with another german beer called Dark Helmet,” he said.
COCKTOBERFEST
LAGER
“It has a light, dry finish, a malty front to prepare you for the cold water, a deep red color, and it’s easy to drink,” said Dave Welling, explaining that the beer is named after the origin of the word pheasant.
