In the summer of 2013, the original concept of Halpatter Brewing Company was conceived by beer aficionados, homebrewers, and brothers-in-law Chris Candler and Jeremy Gable over beers, in a pool, at a family birthday party.
Though the desire and dedication were present, the idea never progressed past a dream because the two simply did not possess the entire set of necessary abilities. Fast forward two years to May 2015 when, by happenstance, Chris learned of fellow home brewer Jonny Frazier and contacted him in hopes of finding another local brewer interested in sharing thoughts and techniques. Though the intent was never to open a brewery, after several brewing sessions, the three became fast friends and realized that they created a dynamic team, each with a different but vital set of skills: with Chris as a long-time business owner, Jonny as an engineer, and Jeremy as a graphic designer. And with the introduction of Jonny’s passion, extensive knowledge of automated manufacturing processes, and unwavering attention to detail, the quality and reproducibility of the now formed venture’s offerings skyrocketed. Public interest began to grow almost immediately and within months Halpatter was accepting invitations to attend tasting and charity events and festivals.
Halpatter Brewing remains a group of brewers, beer aficionados, and friends pursuing their passion for brewing great beer and positively impacting their neighbors and visitors alike.
