Brewery Profile

White Squirrel Brewery

A stop at 302 State Street gives visitors a look at a brewery that has grown into a larger role in Bowling Green’s craft beer scene. White Squirrel Brewery operates from a 10,000 square foot warehouse-style facility, a move that followed its March 2023 acquisition of Gasper Brewing Company. For someone walking in, the key context is that this is both a taproom and a working brewery, not just a bar with a local label on the taps. The larger space reflects a shift toward more room for production and public service, while still keeping the visitor experience centered on what is being brewed and served on site.

Travelers moving through south-central Kentucky often look for places where they can sample beer made in the same town they are visiting, compare local approaches, and break up a trip with something more specific than a standard chain stop. White Squirrel fits that kind of visit because its brewing process is part of the story: the brewery produces 8-barrel batches, roughly 2,000 pints per brew day, and emphasizes fresh ingredients, efficiency improvements, and quality control. Since specific year-round beer names or styles are not available here, the best approach is to treat the tap list as something to discover in person rather than arriving with a fixed expectation.

For planning, the taproom is open daily, though hours vary between weekdays and weekends, so it is worth checking current hours before making a special trip. The taproom is also the place to confirm the day’s pours, any recent releases, and what is available from current batches. Amenities beyond the taproom are not specified, so visitors should not assume details such as food service, reservations, patio seating, or tours without contacting the brewery directly. One concrete point for beer-focused visitors is the brewery’s stated quality standard: batches that do not meet its criteria are discarded rather than served. That makes a visit less about chasing a long list of labels and more about seeing what the brewery is comfortable putting across the bar that day.

White Squirrel Brewery operates out of a 10,000 square foot facility at 302 State Street in Bowling Green, Kentucky. In March 2023, the brewery expanded by acquiring Gasper Brewing Company and relocating to this larger warehouse space. Their brewing process involves producing 8-barrel batches, equivalent to approximately 2,000 pints per brew day, using fresh ingredients and ongoing process improvements aimed at efficiency and quality control. The brewery maintains a strict quality standard, discarding any batch that does not meet their criteria. White Squirrel's tap room is open daily, with varying hours on weekdays and weekends.
