Emily’s Brew celebrates 5 years

Emily’s Brew celebrated their five-year anniversary Wednesday, April 1. Maddie Kohrman was all smiles behind the counter as she made birthday themed drinks. Kohrman told The Versailles Republican, “I love the community. Being able to connect with everyone, everyone is like a family.” The sister-owned business also stated, “We want to thank each and every one who chooses to spend their days with us.” It’s the support of the community that allows small businesses to continue growing and thriving. Emily’s Brew is located at 107 N Washington St, on the square in Versailles.

Maddi Hornsby and Laela Burke say they visit the shop almost every Monday and Wednesday. Emily’s Brew is how they became good friends. Both girls had friends who worked there and happened to visit around the same times. During those visits, they naturally gravitated toward each other. Now, you might often find the pair catching up at a table and enjoying fun themed drinks.
