We quickly became regulars and later employees at this brewery, Bowling Green Beer Works.

and become a professor? Well, shortly after arriving in Bowling Green, Ohio we stumbled across a nanobrewery that had just opened in the community. What else do you do with a Sociology degree besides get your Ph.D. We thought it was a good idea to head out to Ohio for grad school. In 2015, we graduated with our degrees in Sociology from Minnesota State University Moorhead. The idea of owning our own brewery was floating around in our heads, but hadn’t taken a strong hold on our futures, yet. Dylan spent that year at Junkyard Brewing Company studying the ins and outs of brewing and serving craft beer. It did not take long to convince the owners that Dylan should be a part of their team. Shortly after he brewed his first few batches of beer, Dylan and I went into Junkyard Brewing Company in Moorhead, MN. After some trial and error ( and A LOT of researching), Dylan began to understand what it takes to be a good brewer. He brewed his first batch of beer that night, a brown ale.

I don’t think I have ever seen Dylan more excited in my life than the moment he unwrapped the equipment. When we moved back to Moorhead, Minnesota to finish up our degrees, I decided to buy Dylan some brewing equipment with the little bit of money I managed to save up (these days I joke that it was the best investment I’ve ever made).

With more than five breweries within walking distance of our apartment, we learned the art of appreciating craft beer.Īfter that first pint of craft beer, Dylan mentioned numerous times that he thought it would be cool to learn how to brew beer. Little did we know, the Pacific Northwest is America’s Mecca of craft beer. In 2013, Dylan and I moved to Eugene, Oregon to study Sociology at the University of Oregon. We were raised in Mandan and have decided to do what we do best, brew beer.
