5 Rabbit Pilsen

We are the first Latino inspired craft brewery in the US. We make our beers with pride, using flavors from Latin America. Our mission is to bring our rich, colorful and delicious culture to the world of craft beer. We started out as a production brewery and built out a small taproom among the tanks. This taproom has become a place to meet, drink, dance, sing and eat, for Latinos and non Latinos alike. More than a brewery, we have built an authentic cultural brand that is known and respected.
