The brewery was founded in 2012 by childhood friends Christopher Basso and Paul Halayko, who returned to the Hudson Valley after education and professional experiences in New York City and Germany. Basso, trained at the French Culinary Institute and formerly a brewer at Brooklyn Brewery, serves as Brew Master. Halayko left a Wall Street career to pursue brewing, inspired by his time in Germany. The business is overseen by Paul’s uncle, Charlie Benedetti, in sales. The taproom occupies a historic 1850s brick building that once housed a cast iron boiler foundry and later the Newburgh Paper Box Company. The fourth-floor space is designed like a traditional German beer hall, featuring communal tables and high-tops, fostering a community atmosphere where visitors often stay for hours.
Located on South Colden Street in Newburgh, NY, the brewery sits within walking distance of the Hudson River and Washington's Headquarters, where General George Washington lived during the Revolutionary War.
