T.F. Brewing: A Legacy in the Making

In his mind’s eye, Kevin Templin knew exactly what Templin Family Brewing, T.F. Brewing for short, could and should be. Family, community, and drinking handcrafted bier the way it’s meant to be enjoyed.

Templin describes it as the “total package.”

“We knew what we wanted, we knew the vision,” says Templin, as he thinks back prior to T.F.’s opening in 2018. “I wanted an open-air concept, I wanted people to be part of the brewing process. To smell it and see it.”

From the moment customers walk through the door, they feel as if they’re part of the family. A friendly greeting to start. And then the opportunity to sit at the bar or take a seat at one of the brewery’s communal tables. Each option comes with a view of the 15-barrel brewhouse.

A draft list is hand-written on a mirrored wall above the tap handles. It’s flanked by a half-dozen different glassware designs. Appropriate glassware is vital for T.F., as are proper pours.
