I retired from a career in September 2023 and we opened two months later. We are in Galveston, Texas, and there was nothing like what we opened near our brewery. So many customers have told us that Galveston needed a place like ours, and we already have a large local following.

There are so many different personality types, and craft beer identifies with every type of person. No matter the political, social, religious, and on and on difference of people, good indie beer brings us all together and makes us all realize no matter the background or difference in people, we really all can get along and be accepting of others.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-brewing-with-passion-and-kindness\"><strong>Brewing with Passion and Kindness<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need a chemistry or science background to open a small brewery.
