The
founding of The Bruery was rather meager. It started as the first
homebrew batch brewed by Patrick Rue, his brother Chris, and his
wife Rachel who was wondering if they were actually going to clean
the kitchen stove once the batch was finished. This first batch
was an amberish ale with Cascade hops, consumed after four days
of fermentation, one day of crash cooling, and a few seconds after
force carbonating. These were proud moments. Patrick started homebrewing
as a diversion in the first year of law school. As the years went
by, his skill and passion for brewing came to a point where the
only thing he wanted to do with the rest of his life is make beer.
Thus, money was raised, grey hairs were formed, and the rest is
history (at least to us).
Our
calling is to create beers with character and depth using the
simplest and purest of means. We do not filter or pasteurize our
beers. All of our bottled beers gain carbonation through 100%
bottle conditioning, allowing carbonation to naturally occur through
a secondary bottle fermentation. We strive to use unconventional
ingredients, and we will proudly state what we put in our beers.
We
are inspired by those in the brewing community who are pushing
the limits of what 'beer' is. We wouldn't be here if it weren't
for great brewers who came before us. We aspire to be an influential
force in craft brewing.
