Interruption Public House & Brewing wasn\u2019t built in a single moment. It took shape piece by piece\u2014through creativity, family, early brewing experiments, community connections, and friendships that eventually grew into a shared vision.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Interruption Public House & Brewing grew from four different journeys that naturally came together over time. Donnie and Jen began brewing together in 2017, starting with a Christmas homebrew kit and quickly turning weekend projects\u2014and even brewing in the snow\u2014into a shared passion. Their early beers made their way into the O\u2019Fallon taproom through the Good News Brewing Homebrew Competition. Donnie won with his Saison, and then brewed it on the GNB system in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Shortly after that release, Jen brought several of Donnie\u2019s beers for the GNB team to try. When Matt tasted Smashing Grapefruit, he immediately saw potential and encouraged Donnie to brew it on the O\u2019Fallon system under the Interruption name. That moment marked the beginning of Donnie and Matt collaborating through beer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Matt\u2019s own brewing path began years earlier, <\/span>leading him to co-found Good News Brewing, and helping grow it into a well-loved regional brewery. After stepping away at the end of 2025 to let GNB continue expanding under Dan\u2019s leadership, Matt felt drawn back to his original dream: a single, community-centered public house in the town where he raised his family. Laura has been by his side throughout his brewing journey, supporting his creativity and sharing in the excitement of developing new ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

As the four of us\u2014Matt, Laura, Donnie, and Jen\u2014became close friends, our individual paths naturally blended into one shared vision. We wanted a place rooted in hospitality, creativity, and genuine community connection. A place that honors Old Town O\u2019Fallon\u2019s history and gives people a familiar spot to gather.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

That vision became <\/span>Interruption Public House & Brewing<\/strong>\u2014a welcoming neighborhood space created from four stories that converged into one purpose: to offer people a warm place to pause, connect, and enjoy good food, good drinks, and good company. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
