Intentional brews for unintentional moments.
A labor of love, brewed with intention, built with the hands (and hearts) of friends.
More Than Founders—The Heartbeat of Kismetic.
At the heart of Kismetic Beer Company are Nicole and Ryan, a duo whose shared vision turned into a labor of love. What started as a simple idea—to create a space where beer feels as approachable as it is intentional—has become a vibrant cornerstone of their community.
Nicole Oesch
Nicole has always had a knack for turning ideas into experiences. With a background rooted in hospitality and a love for craft beer, she saw an opportunity to redefine what a brewery could be. To Nicole, it wasn’t just about the beer—it was about the environment, the energy, and the people. That vision became Kismetic: a space designed to be more than a taproom, but a cozy, mid-century-inspired gathering place filled with personal touches, from handcrafted woodwork to quilts made by friends. Nicole’s favorite part of the job? Watching strangers become regulars, regulars become friends, and knowing that Kismetic isn’t just a brewery—it’s a community, built one beer (and one serendipitous moment) at a time.
Ryan Oesch
Ryan has always believed that beer is more than just a beverage—it’s a bridge. With years of experience in the brewing industry, Ryan honed their craft working behind the scenes, learning the science, the art, and the soul of brewing. But something was missing: a space that felt as welcoming as the beer itself. That spark led to the creation of Kismetic, where Ryan’s brewing philosophy is simple yet profound—“I brew for one person.” Each batch is crafted with care, designed to resonate with someone out there who’ll take a sip and feel right at home. For Ryan, the most rewarding part isn’t just perfecting the brew; it’s watching someone’s face light up as they find their new favorite beer in an unexpected place.

Mellow brews for the humble-hearted.
At Kismetic, we approach brewing with a humble heart and a Midwest attitude. We focus on creating lower ABV and lager styles, allowing our patrons to enjoy multiple beverages responsibly. We believe that brewing is an art form meant to be shared and enjoyed by all.
Cosmic energy vibes, Oma's basement aesthetic.
Step into Kismetic Beer Company, and it’s like stepping into a familiar dream—a place you’ve never been, but somehow always known. The taproom hums with a perfect collision of cosmic energy and vintage warmth, where Oma’s basement charm meets mid-century psychedelia.
Dim lighting, velvet drapes, and atomic-era fixtures set the mood, while the warm glow of retro lamps invite you to sink into a cozy leather couch, beer (or other beverage of choice) in hand, ready for some great fellowship with friends. The hand-touched details—quilted wall art, detailed woodwork, and a warm-and-cozy fireplace—whisper of an era when everything was made to last.
Like the jukebox in the corner, spinning forgotten favorites, the space blends the past and present effortlessly—a backdrop for new conversations, familiar comforts, and spontaneous moments of serendipity. Whether you’re here for a quick pint or an all-night heart-to-heart, Kismetic feels like home, just with better beer.
We're not just a brewery. We're your neighborhood's living room.
Come as you are. Stay for the nostalgia, the warmth, and the next round.
