Fuzzbot Brewing Co
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
Fuzzbot started as a clothing company for skateboarding and snowboarding. We also had a passion for creating beer as well. We pivoted operations to start a brewery. Owner Scott Searles AKA HopheadFred was working in the beer industry and had worked for 3 of the top 10 breweries in the U.S. he was able to see where large breweries were failing. He also saw the troubles with startup breweries. He embarked on a crazy journey of brewing the beer, selling the beer and distributing the beer. The steps to accomplish this was far from easy but his fierce tenacity paid off. While not the most conventional way to operate it is a passion driven project. In a way it’s a modern day do it yourself operation much like how craft breweries get started.
