About Scratch Brewing Co.
Scratch Brewing Company is a farmhouse brewery located 5 miles from the Shawnee National Forest in Ava, Illinois focusing on farmhouse beers and other styles brewed with home grown and locally farmed ingredients. The facility has been voted one of the most beautiful places to drink beer in the world by All About Beer Magazine, featuring a tree filled campus that’s truly a destination. Brews change both weekly and seasonally, and include innovative additions of local ingredients, including elderberry, ginger, dandelion, maple sap, hickory, lavender, juniper, and chanterelle mushrooms. Food is almost entirely locally sourced as well, featuring in-house grown produce along with other ingredients from nearby farms and eateries.
