Half Batch Brewing

Half Batch Brewing was born in the kitchen of a college apartment in Baton Rouge in 1995. That's when and where I brewed my first beer. A homebrewer does not exist who has not thought while brewing a batch of beer, "If I could do this for a living.". Each homebrewer differs in how he completes that sentence, and in how far down the road to opening a brewery he may travel.

As for a college student about to graduate with a history degree who was not relishing the thought of graduate school, becoming a professional brewer sounded pretty good. I began to hustle for a job in the craft brewing industry. There was an offer from a brewery in Idaho to come be an assistant brewer that I couldn't take advantage of.
