Benny Brewing Co.

OUR STORY

It all began when Ben Schonfeld left for Myrtle Beach on an annual golf vacation with a group of friends. After the group finished a round of golf, they ended up at a local brew pub near the course. (the “19th hole” as many golfers would say!)

After sampling a few of the brew pub’s handcrafted beers, Ben was inspired by the flavors and aromas. The experience of handcrafted brew was unlike the rest. Ben immediately developed an appreciation for the time, thought and imagination behind the final product! Handcrafted beer was very different from the all-too-common profile of the well known “one-size-fits-all” beers.

While at the brew pub, Ben had the opportunity to meet with the brewmaster and talk with him about the brewing process.

Upon returning, Ben began to research the art of making craft beer. After several months of compiling ideas, recipes, and procedures he built his first ten gallon brewing system.

Two years of recipe development, test batches, and sampling flew by. Throughout that experience, Ben focused on providing handcrafted brew with fresh ingredients. The product was provided to family and friends, and was well received by all. Shortly thereafter Ben realized that with the support and encouragement of his family it would be possible to provide his products to the public through his family business at Marty’s Blue Room in Nanticoke, PA.
