Welcome to Lightning Storm Brewing, where passion, friendship, and a commitment to quality come together to create exceptional craft beer experiences. Our journey began in 2021 when three friends—Laddy, Cody, and Garret—embarked on a quest to share their love of brewing with the world.
Our Humble Beginnings:
In the early days, our brewery was nothing more than a garage and a 5-gallon brewing system. With a shared enthusiasm for craft beer and a willingness to learn, we dove headfirst into the art of brewing. Through experimentation, trial, and error, we honed our skills and crafted brews that exceeded our wildest expectations.
Community Support:
But we didn't embark on this journey alone. Along the way, we received invaluable support and guidance from our community. Whether it was fellow brewers sharing tips and tricks or friends lending a hand during long brew days, we were reminded time and again of the power of collaboration and camaraderie.
A Fortuitous Turn:
In the fall of 2023, fate intervened in the form of a church in Camas, Washington, purchasing a building with a 10-barrel brewery in the basement. Sensing an opportunity too good to pass up, we seized the moment and acquired all the equipment, pulling it out of the basement and into our vision for Lightning Storm Brewing.
From Dream to Reality:
Overnight, our brewing capacity expanded from 5 gallons to 10 barrels, marking a significant milestone in our journey. With the support of our community and a shared determination to succeed, we wasted no time in finding a suitable location and setting up our brewery.
A New Chapter:
Today, we're thrilled to announce the next chapter in our story: the opening of our taproom in Salmon Creek, Washington. It's a dream realized—a place where friends old and new can come together to savor exceptional craft beer and create lasting memories.
Join Us:
At Lightning Storm Brewing, we're more than just a brewery—we're a testament to the power of friendship, perseverance, and the pursuit of passion. Join us on this incredible journey as we continue to push the boundaries of craft beer and share our love for brewing with the world.
Thank you for being a part of our story.
Sincerely, Laddy, Cody, and Garret
