History
The Kochendorfers and Cripps When the Kochendorfers and Cripps first met, it was obvious they shared the same dream of one day opening a brewery. With the Kochendorfer's entrepreneurial spirit and the Cripps' vast knowledge of the craft beer industry, Kochendorfer Brewing Company was born. After some disappointments in starting the brewery in Oklahoma City, it became apparent that, with the Cripps residing near Duncan and Laura's family ties to the area, Duncan would be the perfect place to begin this journey. The brewery is located at 1155 McCurdy Rd in Duncan, sitting on five wooded acres of land with a large covered patio space, and is a destination for friends and families to get together. The brewery hosts tours and maintains a taproom for craft beer purchases. Future plans include a bandstand, food trucks, family friendly outdoor games, walking trails, as well as a fenced-in playground so that families can get away for the day and enjoy the outdoors together.
Specialties
Our Beer is Damn Good. At Kochendorfer our process is complex, but our approach is simple. With over 30 years of experience, we've found a few things to be true. Beer is better shared, never trust a one-armed Cajun, and if you don't like beer, you just haven't tried the right one. Here in the Duncan woodlands, we've made brewing our craft and people are our passion. We've traveled the globe, brewing from Illinois and Kentucky to England and Germany. Now, we have our own little patch of land and we've filled it with the things that make us happy. A shady spot to sit and enjoy a good beer. An open trail to explore the outdoors. A place for the kids to play. And last but not least, a top of the line brewery.
