Christmas in July at St. Nick Brew Co.
🎄Christmas in July at St. Nicholas Brewing Co. — Starts July 26!🎄
Why wait for December when you can sleigh it now?
We’re decking the halls with hops and kicking off Christmas in July on Friday, July 26th at St. Nicholas Brewing Co. in Du Quoin! This is the official countdown to our 11th Anniversary Bash on August 17th — and we're bringing the holiday cheer with a mini “12 Beers of Christmas” twist.
🎁 Here’s how it works:
We’re dropping 5 limited small-batch brews, one each week
Stop in, drink 1 pint of each
Get your punch card stamped like a festive boss
Turn in a full card = 🎉 FREE 1-Year Mug Club Membership 🎉
Yep. Free. For real.
Your holidays came early, and your beer just got merrier.
✨ First beer releases July 26. New one each week until the party.
🎉 Big finale = our 11th Anniversary Party on August 17th.
So throw on a Santa hat, blast some Mariah Carey, and let’s make the season malty and bright.
🎉 11 Years of Beers & Big Dreams — St. Nick’s Turns 11! 🍻
Join us Saturday, August 17 in the heart of Du Quoin, Illinois as we raise a glass (or three) to 11 years of pouring pints, making memories, and restoring a once-condemned hotel into one hell of a hometown hangout.
Back in 2005, this place was almost rubble. In 2009, we bought it for the price of a decent used lawnmower ($777). Now? It’s a fully restored historic stunner serving up small-batch beer and big community vibes.
We’re throwing an anniversary party the way only Du Quoin can — with local love, cold brews, and plenty of that scrappy Southern Illinois spirit that brought this building (and brewery) back to life.
Expect:
Beer that’s been aging better than we have
A crowd that feels more like family than fans
Toasts to the past and big cheers for what’s next
Come for the history, stay for the hops.
Let’s celebrate 11 years of grit, grain, and good times together.
12 S Oak St, Du Quoin, IL
Saturday, August 17
You bring the good energy, we’ll bring the beer.
Historical Society Dedication
Honoring the Legacy: Dedication Ceremony at St. Nicholas Brewing Co. – Du Quoin
Join us on Wednesday, June 11 at 6:30 PM for a special dedication ceremony at St. Nicholas Brewing Co. in Du Quoin(12 S Oak Street), where we celebrate the rich history and remarkable restoration of our historic home—the former St. Nicholas Hotel.
Originally built in 1879, this iconic building stood vacant and condemned until it was rescued from demolition in 2009 with a symbolic $777 bid. What followed was a years-long journey of preservation, passion, and craftsmanship. Reopened in 2014 as a brewpub, the space now honors both its past and the vibrant community that brought it back to life.
We invite the public to join us for this heartfelt celebration, complete with light snacks, beer tokens, and stories from the journey. Hosted in partnership with the Du Quoin Historical Society, this event is a toast to resilience, reinvention, and the power of community.
📍 St. Nicholas Brewing Co. – 12 S Oak Street, Du Quoin, IL
📅 Wednesday, June 11 | 🕡 6:30 PM
Let’s raise a glass to history—together.
