Top Rung Brewing Company

It all started as a dream, a passion for brewing, a 1/2 bbl system, and two firefighters looking for some escape from the rigors of their full-time jobs. Co-Founders Jason and Casey work as firefighters with the McLane/Black Lake Fire Department. As friends and co-workers they were very interested in learning more about the art of one of their favorite past times, drinking craft beer. They were interested in dissecting the brewing process and took up home brewing. After a couple years of brewing they entered their HoseChaser Blonde in the Dicks Brewing “Beer for a Cure” event and won first place. After that they continued to work hard at conducting a great deal of research and market analysis and determined there was a need for more craft beer in the South Sound. Their hobby suddenly turned into more. After some rigorous work and a well vetted business plan, both Jason and Casey opened Top Rung Brewing in April of 2014.
