It is now 2018 and "the old beer guy" is hanging up his hat. John says, "It's been great participating in the development of new beer taste and styles. I feel a huge factor in our success is because of the quality of our small batch brewing equipment and our wonderful customers." When the law changed and brewing became legal for home brewing. He thought, "What an opportunity to provide equipment for this new market." Initially he bought a three barrel STAINLESS STEEL system. The darn thing leaked! He learned a lot about stainless steel. This lead to his pioneering the development of small batch brewing equipment. This was twenty years ago.
