Downey Brewing Company

Downey Brewing Company was first conceptualized in the fall of 2013 and founded in 2014 by Dean Downey, Daniel Downey and John Downey. The idea stemmed from an ever-growing passion for brewing delicious beer and a unique opportunity of various skill sets and business synergy. The ethos of Downey Brewing Company have roots in the world of home brewing. Dean, with a background in chemistry, has been brewing beer since the early 90’s, and like many home brewer’s had aspirations of opening his own brewery one day. John started to brew beer while still a student at Michigan State and really jumped in feet first, taking a real interest in the process and art of brewing as well as the craft beer industry itself. With some practice, some self-education and a bit of talent delicious full flavored craft beers were produced and enjoyed by friends and family. Great beer being fundamental and necessary for a successful brewery it is far from a complete picture, or pitcher in this case.
