Chafunkta Brewing Co

Chafunkta Brewing Company is a Mandeville, LA based Nanobrewery formed by Josh & Jamie Erickson in June of 2011.

Josh is currently a Software Development Manager at Bentley Systems, Inc., an engineering software company. Josh is also an avid home brewer, who brewed his first batch in a good old fashioned “Mr. Beer” in 1998. Since then, raising his 4 boys has taken priority over home brewing. In 2009 once his sons became older and could be mini-brewers themselves, Josh jumped back into the home brewing scene and became focused on creating the best and most consistent craft beers possible.

Jamie’s a stay-at-home Mom whose life in recent years has been focused on raising her 4 sons. As Josh’s assistant brewer, she began to share his passion for home brewing and decided to brew her first batch of beer in May of 2010. Since then she and Josh have been brewing together side by side.
