Introducing Skål Hús Hospitality!

Over the past decade, Plank Road Tap Room has grown into more than just a tap room, it’s become a community hub, a home for local events, and a place where people gather to relax, celebrate, and connect.

We’re excited to share the next step in our journey:

Plank Road Tap Room is now officially part of our newly formed hospitality company, Skål Hús Hospitality. (pronounced: skohl hoos)

Rooted in our Scandinavian heritage and love for warm, intentional spaces, Skål Hús (meaning “cheers” house in Nordic languages) reflects our mission: to create welcoming, memorable experiences, whether that’s through great beer, beautiful events, or new concepts on the horizon.

What does this mean?

Plank Road Tap Room will continue to operate just as it always has....serving up carefully curated craft beer and wine, hosting community-driven events, and welcoming guests to our dog-friendly trails and beer garden. It’s still owned and operated by Breanne and Alan, but now it’s part of a broader vision as we expand into new spaces and experiences under the Skål Hús Hospitality umbrella.

We can’t wait to share what’s next.
