Twin Fork Beer Company

BEHIND EVERY BEER COMPANY..

LIES A STORY FILLED WITH INSPIRATION, HOPE AND DEDICATION. SUCH IS TRULY WITH THE TWIN FORK BEER COMPANY AND IT’S TWIN BROTHER FOUNDERS DAN AND PETE CHEKIJIAN . CURRENTLY THE PROUD OWNERS OF A BRAND NEW BREWERY , DISTRIBUTION CENTER AND TASTING ROOM LOCATED IN RIVERHEAD NY.

THEY WERE BORN IN 1971 IN A LITTLE FARM HOUSE IN CALVERTON NY TO GEORGE AND ANITA CHEKIJIAN . THEIR FATHER CAME FROM WOODSIDE QUEENS , AN ORGANIC CHEMIST AND COLLEGE PROFESSOR WHOSE IMPRESSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF CHEMISTRY LED TO A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MANUFACTURING AND SELLING HIS OWN TRADEMARKED INDUSTRIAL GRADE CLEANING PRODUCTS ,

THE TWINS MOTHER WAS BORN IN AUSTRIA , EMIGRATED AT A YOUNG AGE TO BROOKLYN , AND LATER MET HER HUSBAND AT THE SAME COLLEGE HE PROCTORED.

MUSIC WAS EMBRACED IN THE CHEKIJIAN HOUSEHOLD, A RESULT OF THEIR FATHER’S PROUD DISTINCTION OF BEING A CLASSICALLY TRAINED PIANIST (HIS INSTRUCTOR WAS A STUDENT OF FRANZ LIZST). ALL OF THE BOYS INCLUDING THEIR YOUNGER BROTHER ARAM , TOOK PIANO LESSONS AND LATER MOVED ON TO INSTRUMENTS OF THEIR CHOICE. ARAM CONTINUED THE TREND AND NOW PLAYS AND RECORDS PROFESSIONALLY .

THIS LOVE AND RESPECT FOR MUSIC LATER LED TO THE USE OF THE TUNING FORK AS THE ICONIC LOGO OF THE TWIN FORK BEER COMPANY. PROUDLY SHOWN ON ALL OF THE PACKAGING, IT IS ALSO THEIR SYMBOLIC TAPHANDLE , SEEN IN MANY BARS AND RESTAURANTS .
