Good Beer
Lances brewing influences date back to the 1990’s, traveling the world surfing, snowboarding and working in breweries. In this time he learnt that good beer is carefully crafted from selected malts, hops, specialty yeasts and a filtered water. The beers styles are a map of his travels;

Beach Blonde Light is an easy drinking beer from San Diego; The Wildside IPA is a strong beer for the cold of the North West Rocky Mountains; Lighthouse Ale is an English Bitter from banks of the Thames; Storm Rider Stout is an oatmeal stout from bracing Edinburgh, Scotland; Kromme River Witbier was inspired by travels through Belgium and France in the summer.

Good Food

He believes if you source fresh, local produce and prepare everything from scratch the rewards are amazing tasting, authentic food. His time on the super yachts in the Caribbean gave him a particular insight and passion for the cuisine from Latin America and Jamaica.

1995-present

While traveling around the US in the late nineties we were inspired by the Brew pubs in the surf and ski towns. When Lance had a surfing accident in 2012 we reevaluated our lives and started a brew pub in St Francis Bay.
