🍺 Our Story
At Trails to Ales Brewery, our story starts long before the first beer was poured.
It began with a group of friends and a shared tradition—over 20 years of running together on the local bike trails. Those miles built more than endurance; they built a friendship and a vision. A vision for a place where people could come together the same way—relaxed, connected, and enjoying the moment.
That’s how Trails to Ales got its name.
In 2018, that vision became reality.

In 2025, Trails to Ales was honored as Franklin Area Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year, and in 2024, we were recognized as one of “America’s Best Restaurants.”
Through it all, one thing hasn’t changed.
This is still a place built on friendship, fueled by passion, and rooted in community.
Whether you’re here for a quick drink, a great meal, or a night out—or now even a weekend stay—
you’re part of the story now.
Eat. Drink. Stay awhile.
Community-Quencher Donation Policy
Trails to Ales Brewery aims to support the local community by giving back to meaningful causes. We donate 3% of sales from a selected beer each month to nonprofit organizations that complete the application process. Once approved, your group will be assigned a craft beer and a specific month. At the end of that month, you will receive 3% of sales from that beer as a donation. Each organization may apply once per year.
