Stop me if you’ve heard this one: Two Minnesotans, one an avid homebrewer who runs an industrial abrasives manufacturing business started by his Pakistani father and German mother, and the other, a heavy metal guitarist-turned-head brewer, cross paths at the San Diego Brewers Conference. The homebrewer offers to help the head brewer brew at his current brewery, and eventually convinces the head brewer to team up with him to convert the abrasives factory into a brewery, make world-renowned beer, and become one of the fastest growing breweries in the country.
As weird as it may seem, that’s exactly how it happened. (To continue this saga, click here).

What an interesting tale of two brewers... if I drank beer I'd certainly give it a try!

ReplyDeleteYou look rather 'rock star' yourself in that fab leather jacket Kate!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a beer drinker myself but that is a great story and I do like the sign and the beautiful wood that it's painted on.
ReplyDeleteI like the logo. It's the first I've heard of the brand.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Never underestimate the power of the offspring of a Pakistani and a German. Especially when it comes to beer. I hear they get very surly!
ReplyDeleteNice graphic.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great slogan!
ReplyDeleteincredible story
ReplyDeleteI'm not a drinker, but I like the logo.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's made it yet to Washington state but I'd be happy to give it a try. (We have some nice craft brews around here.)
ReplyDeleteI really like this! It looks like soviet art at its best.
