Some time ago, Dan and his son Jesse were anything but close. Their relationship was strained and ripe with conflict. That is, until 2012, when one day they found themselves in Dan’s garage tinkering over a newfound hobby—making homemade beer. Although they hadn’t collaborated on much before, brewing quickly grew into a passion they shared. They both desired to learn everything there was to know about brewing and to do it very very well. Eventually, not only did they learn just that, but they grew in friendship and respect for each other. Seeking other like-minded people, they joined the Long Beach Homebrewers Club and connected with a community of other passionate brewers. They shared their brews and received a lot of positive feedback. And the dream grew. They began to dream of sharing their passion with an even larger audience and create a space where people could come together over a beer. And in 2016, Ten Mile Brewing was born.
