Elk Valley Brewing Co.

 John Elkins, Owner, Brewmaster, Beer-Drinker I started brewing back in 2001 with my best friend Dave, and we’d make a batch of home brew a couple of times a month. Later that year we took a trip to the Great American Beer Festival and came home with big plans for our own brewery, but it just wasn’t meant to be at that time. A few years later, my wife Cynthia and I were honeymooning in Colorado, and a tour of Left Hand Brewing Co. rekindled my fire for brewing. She was incredibly supportive as I began homebrewing again. Sadly, Dave passed away just months after our wedding (I brew Brother Dave’s in his memory). I started entering competitions in 2010. A few medals from around the country convinced me to go full-steam ahead, and, after some equipment purchases and location shuffles, I was able to start Elk Valley Brewing Co. full-time in 2014.  It’s been a great ride, and I can’t wait for you all to see what’s coming next – there are exciting changes ahead for Elk Valley! Until then, I hope you enjoy these beers as much as I do. Cheers!
