Energy City

Batavia, IL - USA

When David and Heidi Files approached the city of Batavia, Illinois to open a nanobrewery, the city was more than happy to accommodate their request and developed a brand new license for Energy City.
David, a chemical engineer by day, evolved his skills over the last 15 years from homebrewing for his neighbors, to then winning brewing competitions. A 2007 win in the ‘Large Stout’ category at a sanctioned American Homebrewers Association competition (at the [now] Two Brother’s Roundhouse) spurred David to build upon that success and start brewing commercially.
