Segment 1
We learn about the background of how Heath Traver and Darren Cregan came up with the idea of Glenbrook Brewery. It all started with a one gallon home brew kit and has turned into the first brewery in Morristown. We also learned the process of how they brew the beer, especially on this large of a scale compared to a home brew kit.
Today in New Jersey History: The Gottfried Krueger Brewing Company, based in Newark, became the first brewery to produce their beer, Krueger Beer, in a can on January 24, 1935.
Segment 2
Heath & Darren talk about the offerings Glenbrook has and some of the fan favorites. The brewery idea started with an award-winning pumpkin beer, but it's Colonial Ale, Morristown Ale, Kolsch, and more have all become staples!
