Big Kettle Brewing is owned by Dave Rice and Glen Sprouse. These two individuals are not only the owners but also the masterminds behind the concept of the contract brewing facility. As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of meeting Dave and Glen and learning about their journey in the craft beer industry.
Dave and Glen noticed a growing need in the industry for a contract brewing facility. Many craft brewers were facing challenges in scaling up their production while maintaining the quality and consistency of their beers. This inspired them to create Big Kettle Brewing, a facility that would provide contract brewing services to these craft brewers.
I had the opportunity to hear Dave and Glen talk about their motivations and the process of starting Big Kettle Brewing. They shared how they saw a gap in the market and wanted to fill it by offering a solution to craft brewers who were struggling with limited production capabilities. They wanted to help these brewers expand their reach and meet the growing demand for their beers.
One of the things that impressed me about Dave and Glen was their dedication to quality. They understood the importance of maintaining the integrity of the craft beer industry and wanted to ensure that the beers produced at Big Kettle Brewing would meet the high standards set by the craft brewers they were working with. They invested in state-of-the-art equipment and implemented rigorous quality control measures to ensure that every beer produced at their facility would be of the highest quality.
In addition to their commitment to quality, Dave and Glen also emphasized the importance of collaboration. They wanted Big Kettle Brewing to be a place where craft brewers could come together, share ideas, and learn from each other. They created a supportive and collaborative environment where brewers could work side by side, exchanging knowledge and expertise.
As I got to know Dave and Glen better, I learned about their own experiences in the craft beer industry. They both had a passion for brewing and had worked at various breweries before starting Big Kettle Brewing. Their hands-on experience gave them a deep understanding of the challenges faced by craft brewers, which informed their approach to building the facility.
Dave Rice and Glen Sprouse are the owners of Big Kettle Brewing, and their passion for craft beer, commitment to quality, and understanding of the industry have made their facility a valuable resource for craft brewers. Through their dedication and innovative approach, they have created a space where brewers can thrive and continue to produce exceptional beers.
