Brush Creek Brewing Company

It’s all my mom’s fault. She allowed me to have a TV in my room. After 10, Cheers! played back-to-back and I loved the place “where everybody knows your name”. I think deep down I wanted to be Sam Malone with my own cast of characters to serve and share life with.

Fast forward a decade or so: I am at a friend’s backyard birthday party and his wife presents him with a home brewery kit. “You can make beer at home?!?” I thought. I was under the impression that beer was made by NASA scientists with complex equipment, not that it was something that could be done at home! My mind was captivated and I soon made what would be my first business investment: a used homebrew kit for $75. I made my first batch of beer, shared it with friends…and was hooked. I subscribed to magazines and read books about beer, brewing, and business, and started going on every brewery tour around: asking questions of head brewers and soaking in everything I could about this newfound frontier of beer craftmanship.
