“Believe it or not, I was a suit and tie, 9-5 guy for a very long time. I was paid a salary and had benefits. I brewed my own beer in our garage in my spare time and gave it out a parties. It was always a hit. Everyone encouraged me to take it further, but I wasn’t brave enough to really take the plunge. Then my brother approached me about an old warehouse for sale in our hometown. His plan was for me to brew the beer, and he’d take care of the business planning. So I did it. I took the plunge. And it was the best decision of my life. We have live music and tours of the brewery. The community embraced us. They embraced the concept. Now I wear t-shirts to work, I grow a beard, and I do what I love every day.”
