About Central 28 Beer Company
The dream for Central 28 Beer Company began as a conversation at a family holiday gathering. Kathy and Geoff DeBisschop and Kathy’s brother Dan St. Pierre decided to combine their years of experience in creating great craft beer and their unbridled enthusiasm for drinking it, founding the Central 28 Beer Company. Central 28 is a family-run and community-focused craft brewery producing hop-forward American style ales and flavorful Belgian style ales. Using the finest raw materials gathered from around the globe, Central 28 seeks to honor their Belgian roots and the inspiring American Craft Beer industry with every batch they brew.
