ABOUT
Irrigation Ales, a rural brewery in Courtland, KS (population: 294), offers eight handcrafted beers made with locally sourced ingredients like Kansas-grown malt, hops, fruits, veggies, and herbs. Our taproom is a space for people to connect through craft beer to our rural culture.
The Kansas Bostwick Irrigation District is one of the largest surface water (not pumped from an aquifer) irrigation districts in the state with 42,500 acres. We highlight the impact of this resource on the region, located near beautiful Lovewell Lake and the waters of the Republican River.
We take pride in our agrarian ingenuity with a brewhouse made from retrofitted dairy tanks, irrigation pipe bar lighting, and a semi-trailer turned cold room.
We also feature handmade cocktails on draft alongside Kansas wines, White Crow Cider, and non-alcoholic kombucha from Apollo Fermentations.
Guests are welcome to bring in food from other local businesses. We offer grab-and-go snacks like our in-house snacks along with a selection of chips and pretzels.
Centrally isolated between I-80 and I-70.
