It all started with a trip to a brew pub in Ithaca’s college town (affectionately known as “The Chappy”) and a pint of a blonde doppelbock beer. First taste and Jon Rodgers knew he wanted to learn to brew beer. So on that fine day in 1984, with the help of his father’s wine-making equipment, his friend Scrubba, and a brew shop on Eddy street, Jon made his first batch of beer. It was not so delicious.
But practice makes perfect and eventually, by way of…college, business-management, accounting, Oregon, California, Colorado and back to New York again, Jon was making some tasty brews. With the help of good friends and many serendipitous moments…the discovery of a dusty brew machine, an 1800’s timber-frame barn sold for a song, land at a fair price and loans from friends…in 2010, Two Goats Brewing was born of Jon and Jess Rodgers.
