## About

BIG MAN’s Brew was formed as a tribute to Clarence Clemons.

But, our tribute had to be different. It wasn’t simply a walk down memory lane...that’s been done. It wasn’t about educating everyone on the arc of his life...that’s also been done. For us, the only way to pay tribute to the BIG MAN is to celebrate his legacy by providing tangible experiences that will help his friends, fans and family reconnect with his indomitable spirit and the beauty of a life lived BIG!

That’s why we created and launched our HAZY Groove IPA. It’s not just another IPA... that’s been done. Our IPA is made in the spirit of the BIG Man, unique in its bold yet approachable taste and surprising in its refreshing citrus notes that leaves you begging for more...just like a classic BIG MAN sax solo!
Over time we plan to launch new beer styles and new beverage products that will continue to amplify his larger than life personality and showcase the breadth of his many passions.

Please join us on our journey to celebrate the BIG MAN’S legacy. As Clarence said, “This could be the start of something BIG!”
