The Journey of Ken Grossman: A Brewing Legacy Reclaimed
In 1979, Ken Grossman, the visionary behind Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., embarked on a remarkable journey by constructing his own brewhouse using repurposed dairy equipment. This innovative endeavor laid the foundation for what would become a cornerstone of the craft beer movement. A decade later, in 1989, Grossman made the decision to sell this unique brewhouse to Mad River Brewing, passing on a piece of his brewing legacy.
Fast forward to 2018, and Grossman took a bold step by re-acquiring the original brewhouse. This move not only signifies a return to his roots but also highlights the enduring passion and dedication that defines his approach to brewing. Ken Grossman’s journey reminds us that the craft beer industry is built on innovation, nostalgia, and a deep appreciation for the art and science of brewing.
