What is an artisan?

An artisan (from Italian: artigiano) is a skilled manual worker who crafts items that may be functional or strictly decorative, including furniture, clothing, jewelry, household items, and tools. The term can also be used as an adjective to refer to the craft of hand making food products, such as bread, beverages, and cheese.

Artisans employ creative thinking and manual dexterity to produce their goods.


Black Shirt Brewing Co utilizes hand-crafted, small-batch artisanal methods to produce stunningly balanced and delicious beer. These beers are assertive and complex, yet clean and refreshing. After all, the beers must pair well with food if we are to achieve our mission of replacing wine on the dinner table.
