Eridanus Brewing

It was never about building a business. It started as a 12 year hobby/passion for Justin. For Kristen is was a life long interest in holistic remedies. Together it turned into a creative idea of a way to share both passions with the world…well the Appalachian region to start. If you’ve made it this far into the website then you’ve probably already discovered our project has something to do with either tea or beer or possibly both.

Justin started as a home brewer who LOVES craft beer, Dodgers baseball and fly-fishing but not necessarily in that order. Every vacation, domestic or abroad we’ve found ourselves visiting as many breweries as possible, often referring to a list that was created several weeks before the trip. It was his way of doing “market research”. Opening a brewery has always been a dream for Justin as he has primarily focused on making beers for himself or sharing a bottle or two with friends. To Justin brewing is much more than a hobby. It is through the process of brewing that Justin finds himself calm, at peace and is able to center his thoughts and emotions. Kristen is happiest when she is creating. Whether it be friendships, yoga flows, or herbal teas; creating is a part of who Kristen is. No matter the activity or setting, you will find Kristen smiling, laughing and spreading positive energy along the way. She’s an avid reader who has been known to knock out a book or two in one day and a nature enthusiast. When not teaching yoga, making teas or reading, she can be found on a trail, in a kayak, meditating on the riverbank or scouring thrift stores for her next “treasure”.
