Howard Street Brewing Company

Homebrewing started as a hobby for me. It was a lot of bad beer and asking for a very patient wife. I moved from boiling small grain bags and cans filled with malt extract to working with grain bills and temperature control. I read all the books I could and asked a lot of questions. I was fortunate enough to make friends with an amazing brewer. He taught me a lot and took me a lot of great places. I got to drink pints in the middle of the Three Floyds brewhouse, got a personal tour of the New Holland distribution facility, went to the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup (hop infused salad dressing is still NOT my jam though). I got to sit on the steel beams freshly installed in his new brewery (to hold the weight of all his new tanks) while drinking a beer 20 feet off the ground. Those were a great couple of years.
I wouldn’t trade a single one of those experiences, but the thing that inspired me most was all the people I met. How truly happy the beer community seemed. How willing they were to help each other out. How excited they were to show off their equipment and beers. I wanted to be a part of that. And now, it seems, I will be. We aren’t opening the biggest brewery in the world and it may, in fact, be one of the smallest, but I am going to be really proud to show off our equipment and beers.
