THE TRIP THAT STARTED IT ALL...

In January of 2015 we all took a trip together with our spouses to Australia. Along the way, we managed to tour a brewery. One night, after a few pints, we began to discuss the idea of starting our own brewery. "Looks easy enough", "can't be that hard" we said. We had a few laughs and carried on with the trip.


​When we got home, we began talking about it again and thought, "you know we should really do this". Over a year later, here we are. The one thing we underestimated in our plan was the 'easy' part. We are proud to say though, that we have accomplished our first goal of starting a brewery and are working at furthering our goals of expansion.
