In the early 1990s, before Bob was old enough to buy beer, he started home brewing it in his mother's kitchen. His constant passion to brew a better pint drove him to continually expand his brewing skills and education. He was officially certified as a beer judge in 2007, and began working professionally in breweries in 2013. Still driven to brew an ever better pint, Bob became head brewer at Hardware in early 2018, with plans for a rotating variety of his best beers ever.

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.
