The idea for the commercial brewery was conceived by Bob Olson in 2011 and 2012, evolving from an award-winning home brew list known as Bob’s Beers. The company was incorporated in 2013, becoming one of only 16 brewing companies in New Jersey at the time. For seven years, it operated as a gypsy brewer, contracting production at various host breweries throughout the tristate area. Bob Olson and Scott handled all business functions, including recipe development, sales, and distribution, working with over a dozen brewery partners to cultivate the lineup. In 2019, the business opened its own 16,000 square foot production facility in the Meadowlands, expanding its team to 13 people in specialized roles. This move allowed the brewery to control its own production and welcome customers into its dedicated space.
