The Great Crescent Brewery completed an expansion in mid-2011 to include a 10 BBL steam fired brewhouse and 6 new fermenters. We started out in a storefront area on 2nd street in Aurora, IN and moved in early 2010 to our own building located on the corner of Mechanic and Importing streets in downtown Aurora, IN.

Our name - Great Crescent Brewery, comes from the successful and widely known Crescent Brewing company that existed in Aurora, IN from 1873-1899. Our goal continues to craft as much fresh beer as possible and make it available to all that enjoy fresh, hand-crafted beer.

We also want to recognize the Lawrenceburg, IN Garnier Brewery, which was originally founded in 1840. The Garnier brewery operated into the 20th Century until it was shut down in 1918, at which time a Revenue collector poured 470 barrels of beer into the Ohio river that was seized under the prohibition law.

Lani commisioned our logo to be crafted in stained glass - a beautiful piece that a picture does not do justice. You really have to see it with light shining through to fully appreciate this work of art.
