Born and raised in the Midwest, Fiedor began brewing beer in 2005. He joined the Gastronomy Group in 2014 and inspired the design of B.B.G.B. Brewery & Hop Farm at Hardware. His passion for using fresh, local ingredients led us to plant our 1.5-acre hop farm, our micro orchard, herb garden patio & greenhouse. His goal is for us to be as sustainable as possible on our 5.6-acre parcel and to bring those fresh flavors into his brewing and his table.

Our Hop Farm will support our brewery with 80% of hops used in our six mainstay beers. We have 1270 plants and six different species of hops. Our soil was amended with plant only compost and sand, and we will classify as organic by 2018. We also use our spent grain to create dinner rolls & pizza dough for our restaurant group as well as dog treats just because we can! Harvest Party coming August 2017, Details TBD.
