About Old Standby Brewing
The Full Story.
On a random day in 1996, Ryan's brother showed up to their apartment in Long Beach, California with a home-brew kit, and there was no way to know where it would lead him. Those first few batches on the stovetop didn't turn out too good, but the brothers and their friends drank them anyway. After a short time, their home brewing expanded. They bought more equipment and soon they were brewing practically every weekend.
After college, Ryan moved to Oregon in 2006 and started brewing on his own in addition to working at a local brewery alongside his teaching career. This is where things really exploded. He started entering and winning competitions and teaching home brewing classes to new brewers in the Willamette Valley. In 2017, he figured it was time to step up to a half barrel electric system and see where it would take him. He decided to start his own trusted brand that would focus on his community and contributing to local charities in the Pacific Northwest.
Since then, Ryan has been involved in brewing projects with home brewers and commercial breweries that have raised over $30,000 for charity. His Brewlanthropy project has taken off and with the support of amazing brands, he is continuing to work with local breweries who share his commitment to the community.
