LuPine Brewing Co

n 2012, James, Michael and Eric decided to open a business together. After many discussions and meetings with other breweries, we knew brewing was the right business for us. We found this industry opens its arms and welcomes in fellow brewers. With that sense of community in mind, we set out to bring quality beer and smiles to our customers.

After breaking out some older brew equipment and buying some new stuff, we brewed the first batch on May 4th, 2013. The aromas wafting off the brew kettle got us all excited. We started to think about what beers to make. How many? What’s the best name? You could feel the warmth through our veins and we knew we were destined for this business. Quickly, we graduated to a ten-gallon system; with a new mash tun, hot liquor tank and 15-gallon brew kettle. One Saturday in June, it all came together for us. The brown was brewed, followed by an IPA; it was one very long and rewarding day of brewing. Then the wait…was the beer going to be any good? In our brew process, we split our ten-gallon batches into two five-gallon fermenters so we’d have two very different variations to try.
