ROOTS:

• ​Founder John Reardon got his start Home Brewing in College while at the University of Colorado and picked up the love of craft, after a few short stints in the bar business he got back to brewing beer and decided that was going to be the next chapter of his life. 
• He grew up in Dallas and Deep Ellum was always near and dear to his heart, used to visit as a child with his parents and there was just a whole lot of action down here in this neighborhood. When he came back to Dallas after College Deep Ellum had fallen on hard times and the history of the neighborhood of 100+ years as the real heart and soul of Dallas was in a stand still and he wanted to bring some of it's better days back.  He thought about opening a bar, but couldn't get the idea of opening up a brewery out of his head. So he went for it.
