Before the Taproom, There Was a Beer Kit
A homebrewing dream worth raising a glass to
Getting the recipe right took practice. Little Red Barn Brewers, a brewery in Winchester, started with brothers Matt and Nate Day, a Christmas gift, and the urge to improve every batch. Greg Hoffman taught them precision and careful recordkeeping. Nils Johnson joined for the promise of free beer, then put his discerning palate to work. When the kitchen stove could no longer keep up, Nils's parents offered an old horse barn in Barkhamsted. Come taste what a little persistence can do.
