Joe started beer in 1986 in Marble Canyon Arizona on an electric hot plate on our dresser in our apartment behind Cliff Dweller’s Lodge where we lived and worked. Our job was in the restaurant or gas station store/motel lobby/ on US 89A on the road to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. He’d gotten his ingredients mail order from the back of Mother Earth News Magazine. In those days there were no home brew shops to be found most anywhere, and particularly none where we lived in the middle of nowhere.
Soon we moved to a mobile home with an actual kitchen and Joe graduated to a stove top. He also found a bottle-capper in an antique store in St George (possibly Hurricane) Utah. He also bought a grain mill from a store that sold bread making supplies and bee keeping equipment. He liked doing things from scratch even back then, choosing to grind grain by hand, over cans of malt syrup.
In the beginning he only brewed two gallons at a time, since there were only the two of us to drink it.
​
Since then he has never really stopped brewing beer. And look where his long-time hobby has led us now. An exciting new adventure.
