Our Beer

Once upon a time in a basement far, far away, an aspiring brewer toiled away at beer recipes and brewing processes. Brewing into the wee hours of the night while still holding down a day job, Bryce Schaffter created amazing craft beers. The art of beer creation fueled his passion. Bryce and his right-hand man, John Baikie, spent numerous weekends throughout the year battling the elements for beer glory.

Fast forward to 2013 after a nudge (or swift kick in the ass from his wife), Bryce left the garage to start a professional brewery. In a serendipitous twist, Bryce met Bryan "Bucky" Buckingham at a brewery event. Bryce and Bryan forged a friendship that would take Cinder Block Brewery from humble beginnings to new heights with Bryan’s long history of professional brewing. Later down the road, Bryce's interest and passion in experimenting led to the inception of hard ciders and meads at Cinder Block! The rest, as they say, is history.
