Our Story

When a shared infatuation with “local” beers brought a Cajun from Marksville together with a Colorado native, no one would have dreamed that twenty something years later the two would again sit down over a pint of their favorite brew. This time, however, the brew was their own creation and one they would set out to share locally and far away.

Origin Of Name

As the old story goes, Marksville was settled by a merchant trader who traveled the area selling his wares to the local Native American tribes and French settlers. On one such trip a broken wheel on his wagon stranded the trader prompting him to throw his hands in the air and declare, “That’s it, I’m not going nowhere else.” Over the years, the moniker “Broken Wheel” has stuck with Marksville and as a business founded on the culture of this community, we adopted the name as ours, too.
