About Big Shoulders Beer Company
It started with a mid life crisis and a home-brewing kit. While Rich was in the midst of his mid-life crisis, he got a home-brewing kit to make the kind of beer that finishes the sentence “Wouldn’t it be cool to...” or answers the question “You know what would go great with that?” After getting the hang of homebrewing, he decided to make a special beer for an engagement party. A number of rave reviews later, a little research was done, connections were made, tweaks were tweaked, and Crosstown Wheat was born!
