In the Beginning
2017
Back in 2017 the brewery owner's son, Micah, who was also an aspiring musician, dreamt of opening a hometown brewery with his father, Jason. He imagined it being a place for music festivals, artisan shows, and bringing people together. He worked hard with his cousin and best friend on brewing, branding, and a professional business plan. He eventually ended up moving to Florida to follow his passion for music but passed the torch onto the family to continue on with the dream.
2023
The torch has been passed, the path has been challenging, but Phantom Farms Brewing persevered! The old boiler room of the Berkeley Mill has been transformed into the beautiful space it is now and the patio is no longer a parking lot, but a beautiful lanai fit for gathering and enjoying the sunshine with a brew. The owner's son-in-law, Jay (far right), stepped up to the plate and is now the General Manager of PFB. A brewery and beer enthusiast with a vision for the brand, Jay continues to lead the team with confidence and poise to reach our next milestones.
