ABOUT us
RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME
Tim and Jason first crossed paths 20 years ago working at a Richmond area environmental engineering consulting company. Throughout the years they’ve stayed in touch both professionally and personally. In late 2016, while contemplating a career change, Jason decided to pursue his love of craft beer and set his sights on opening a brewery in his new home County of Powhatan. Knowing Tim also appreciates good craft beer and had previously lived in Powhatan, a business partnership was born! For the next several years while putting the business plan in place and finding a suitable location, Jason continued to hone his brewing knowledge and techniques while fine tuning recipes.
