Backyard Brewery & Kitchen
Beer has always been a passion of mine. My first real ‘job’ was capping my father’s homebrew bottle caps at the ripe old age of 7. Visiting haunts like Catamount Brewing, Seven Barrel Brewery, and Gritty’s as a child ingrained in me the virtues and vibe of the craft beer scene well before the boom we are living in now. My passion is two-fold- creating clean, artisanally made beers for all to enjoy, and creating an atmosphere of friendliness, camaraderie, and community outreach for all to enjoy. My vision is that of a traditional English Publick House- high quality beer served in a place of community gathering where strangers, locals, regulars, and everyone in between can chat amongst themselves over a pint or two. While I don’t have a brewing ‘style’ per se, I particularly enjoy making true-to-style European beers, especially German lagers. A good IPA on occasion never hurt anyone either, though. Next time you come in, look for the haggard-looking guy in rubber boots walking around and chat. I’m an open book, and I’d love to share a page or two with everyone.
