Juniper Brewing Company

Zach and I both dreamed of becoming business owners even before we met. Both of us are naturally curious, imaginative, and super stubborn; becoming entrepreneurs was inevitable.

Cleveland taught us about beer and it wasn’t long after we moved there Zach was winning state and local awards for his brews. As director of R&D I naturally approved all beers. Zach geeks out about chemistry and when we lived in Cleveland, he was a high school science teacher during the day moonlighting as a beer brewer on weekends and in the summers. Back in 2012 Zach got his degree in Beer Brewing from the American Brewers Guild and then immediately after that, we had twins; we already had a one and half year old. Yes, that’s three children under the age of 2 (insert screeching tire sound). While we were incredibly blessed, time stopped for the beer – or so it seemed.
