Episode 5
The dictionary definition of a pipe dream is “An unattainable or fanciful hope or scheme.” Today we drink and talk in Pipe Dream Brewery in Londonderry, NH with Co-owner and head brewer Jon Young! This place was a dream and now its a place that people meet up to share experiences and create.
Jon got into home brewing during his time in the military on the west coast. When he came back to New England he ran into complications with the jobs he was applying for and decided to stop that path and start a new one by opening up a brewery. When being open for a year and a half Pipe Dream moved from a 3 barrel system to a 15 barrel system and premiered over 93 beers from the start. Had to hear about the growth and the dream!
