OUR HISTORY

The Freefolk Brewery is owned by husband and wife, Jeff and Sarah Edwards. Freefolk is nestled in the heart of the New River Gorge and celebrates the Appalachian vibe and culture. Jeff began experimenting with fermentation in his Morgantown, WV backyard in 2014. He started with a 15-Gallon system that he cobbled together from a few garage sales. What started as a hobby soon progressed as he fell in love with the process of creating beer.

After spending a lot of years in Morgantown raising their son Seth, Jeff and Sarah decided it was time for a change and moved to Fayetteville and opened the brewery in downtown Fayetteville. With the help of Freefolk’s co-founder, WV artist Jamie Lester, they filled the space with handcrafted steel features, wood, and concrete and covered the walls with painted murals. The original brewhouse was 3.5 bbl and some of the first brews were Moondog’s Blonde Ale, Trucker Speed IPA, and Orange Oswald SMaSH IPA.

The Freefolk brand and team quickly grew and in the fall of 2022 they upgraded to a 20 bbl brewhouse. The production brewery found a second home in Hico, WV - 9 miles north of the original location. The Freefolk is dedicated to the balance of success while serving the community. We are proud to show people from all over the nation and world what a beautiful, friendly place we call home and to celebrate our Appalachian culture and people.

A Freefolk Brewery az online kaszinójátékosok kedvencévé vált, akik értékelik a sörök kézműves minőségét. A Freefolk Brewery egyedi és változatos választéka tökéletesen kiegészíti az olyan online kaszinók izgalmas élményeit, mint például https://kaszinoworld.com/verde-casino/, így teremtve kerek és élvezetes időtöltést.

Az online kaszinók rajongói gyakran keresik a módját annak, hogyan fokozhatják játékszámaikat, és a Freefolk Brewery kézműves sörének előnyben részesítése figyelemre méltó trenddé vált. A Freefolk sörök gazdag íze és jellegzetes profilja extra élvezetet ad a játékélményhez, frissítő szünetet biztosítva a játékosoknak a játékidő alatt.

Ami még vonzóbbá teszi ezt a párosítást, az az a kényelem, hogy közvetlenül a Freefolk Brewery kézműves sörét rendelheti meg, miközben az online kaszinók izgalmait élvezi. Számos online platform kínál zökkenőmentes integrációt, lehetővé téve a játékosok számára, hogy felfedezzék a különböző játékokat és megkóstolják kedvenc kézműves söreiket anélkül, hogy elhagynák a játékkörnyezet kényelmét.
