About Us
In the 1990s, a journey through Oregon and Washington ignited my passion for craft beer, leading to the discovery of unique brews like Pyramid Apricot Ale and Oregon Honey Beer. This newfound interest deepened with hoppy styles such as Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Stone IPA. Eager to delve into the art of brewing, every available resource on the subject was devoured. A visit to a local homebrew shop resulted in the purchase of my first kit, and the first batch was brewed – an experience that proved captivating.
During an era when IPAs were scarce, I was a focused on making that style at home. My hobby flourished over the years, leading to significant equipment upgrades and the transformation of my garage into a fully equipped home brewery. The space featured a mill, temperature-controlled fermentation vessels, kegerators with multiple taps, etc. Sharing my beer at local events, competitions, and with neighbors provided invaluable feedback and fostered a sense of community.
At one of these gatherings, a conversation with my business partner, Blake unfolded. He expressed strong interest in the brewing endeavors, and discussions about a shared dream began. A partnership was formed, driven by a mutual desire to unite people in our rural community, support local causes, and make good beer.
