It Started in a Garage...
1984 Don Anderson gave his father, Dennis, a homebrew kit for Father's Day. While the rudimentary kit of the mid-80's failed to live up to the expectation of a great beer, their shared love of good times and good beer rallied on.Almost 30 years later, Don's kids gifted him with a homebrew kit for Father's Day, offering a second chance at crafting the perfect beer and spending quality time with his 6 kids. Like the first homebrew, this first time, straight-out-the-box brew was not quite a candidate for the World Beer Cup. But, what it lacked in body and carbonation, it made up for in an exciting newfound shared hobby with his eldest daughter, Elizabeth. Their brewing adventures quickly spiraled out of control-- gaining momentum by adding technology and the occasional headshake of disbelief from Linda-- sparking a passion for craft beer that turned into a crazy idea and then a new career.
