ABOUT US

Co-Founders Matt Cronin and Emma Whelan share a mutual love of all things craft and artisan - especially beer! After several years of drinking, eating and talking, their paths aligned and together they created Astro Lab Brewing. 

​

An astrolabe is a symbol of history, journeys, innovation and craftsmanship. Astro Lab Brewing brings a modern day twist to each of these elements throughout our company, our people and our beer.

There is a passion for craft in everything that we do. Whether it be brewing beer, providing a unique experience for our customers, sourcing local ingredients, partnering with skillful makers or developing the unique skills of our team, our culture is one that creates and fosters an unfiltered and unadulterated passion for craft. 

We are committed to being local, inclusive and an integral part of our neighborhood. Our community is our customer and our customers are our community. Through outstanding service, attention to detail and inspiring conversations, our brewery and taproom is an open and welcome environment where we can all meet to create and discover great beer and ideas.
