12Degree Brewing

Jon founded 12Degree Brewing in 2013. Well, they opened in 2013 but the process began about six years earlier. He started out as a homebrewer, conceiving of and developing most 12Degree beers on my back porch. Like most homebrewers, He brewed beers that He wanted to drink but could not always find. Loving the Belgian's approach to brewing -- the blend of science and artistry, complexity and drinkability, focus on coaxing diverse flavors from eccentric yeast strains -- He brewed almost exclusively Belgian-inspired beers. Saisons, Dark Strong Ales, Golden Strong Ales. Quadrupels, and a wide variety of sour beers were the staples for me then and remain the core styles for 12Degree. Of course, they've branched out a bit since we opened...
