Dr. Shobhana Panuganti and Dr. Ben Oxley
Your local overeducated, ecofeminist, vegan brewers
One morning, we woke up and decided it was time to ferment things.
Making new things everyday is fun, but it’s even more fun when you get to taste them afterwards. When we became inorganic chemists, we found that our research didn’t offer a lot of opportunities for tasting, and more importantly, for sharing. Ben had a really big bucket, Shobhana had a big closet for fermentation, and so a brew-tiful collaboration was born.
We’re like anyone else: we have too many advanced degrees, like to make animals of all kinds comfortable in our home, sit around with friends and pass around beers, talking of electrons, rocks, dinosaurs, black holes, fantasy novels, fungi, metal forging, long hikes at night, and what our purpose might be here in this universe.
We want to share this with all of you: to brew with rare and treasured ingredients without animal products, to incorporate the unique biotic signature of the land on which we brew, to honor and uphold the values of the indigenous stewards of this land in gratitude, and to ensure that our brewery teaches and uplifts all of us along every step of the process.
Come join us at our Friday Happy Hours and other upcoming community events to have fun, make friends, and be free!
