Jake was introduced to brewing by his brother who at that time was an experienced brewer. They would spend Saturdays brewing and sharing their brewing knowledge. When his brother moved in 2005, there was no room for the equipment in the new place so it all ended up at Jake’s house. He has since taken over the family brewing, so to speak. Jake has developed a passion for brewing great beer, and has dreamed of opening a brewery. One day he responded to an ad that was posted on craigslist. This ad was from Jeff Hicks the founder of Flying Bike, who at the time was nothing more than a fellow home brewer. Jake and Jeff shared ideas about how to go from home brewer to pro-brewer. Soon, there were guys meeting on Saturdays formulating the ideas that later became Flying Bike Cooperative Brewery. Jake has served on the board since its inception and is eager to serve another term. |
