Our Story

Stratosphere Brewing Company is inspired by people who love beer.  We are motivated by the beer drinkers around us and the limitless opportunities to create great beer. 

So how did we get started?

All I can say it has been a long time coming.  It started back in the ’90s when I brewed my first homebrew.  Keep in mind things were quite different back then.  There was only one local supplier of homebrewing brewing equipment and ingredients, which was run out of a basement.  Long story short, I left alive with everything I needed to make my first 5-gallon batch of beer. 

With homebrewing came some good beers that I was able to enjoy with my friends while also having the satisfaction of brewing it myself.  While going to College the cost and space to store beer became an issue so brewing was put on the backburner.  As beer began to evolve in the U.S. there was an influx of new beers that were getting better and better.
