The History of Gray Brewing

Gray's Tied House is a contemporary version of the traditional tied house that emerged in England during the 18th and 19th centuries. During that time beer was available at two types of public houses (pubs). A "tied house" was owned by a brewery and sold only beer that it brewed, while a "free house" was privately owned and featured beers from multiple breweries.

As the name implies, Gray's Tied House serves products manufactured by the Gray Brewing Company which was founded in 1856 by Joshua Gray, an Irish immigrant. Since then, Gray's has continued its tradition of producing the finest handcrafted beers, ales and sodas in its quaint brewery and bottling facility in Janesville, Wisconsin.
