The New Glarus Brewing Company has wasted no time establishing itself as a world-class operation. The brewery was started in June 1993 by Dan and Deborah Carey, with the first brew in November 1993 - the fastest microbrewery start-up ever.
Deborah, one of life's entrepreneurial spirits, raised the capital for the start-up as a gift to her husband, establishing her as the first woman to found and operate a brewery in the US.
Dan, a Master Diploma Brewer, is well known in the microbrewery world. He has spent years setting up and consulting to microbreweries, has worked at a brewery in Bavaria and spent three years with Anheuser-Busch. Dan passed the Diploma Master Brewer's Exam at the Institute of Brewing in London in 1992 --- the first American to do so since 1978...
Dan and Deborah have successfully combined their business management and brewing professionalism with their philosophy based on individuality, cooperation and use of 100% natural ingredients to produce world class, handcrafted beers. Their list of awards seems to grow longer daily. The most recent awards bestowed on the brewery are: 2006 Brewery of the Year-Midsize (Great American Beer Festival), 2006 Brewer of the year-Dan Carey (Great American Beer Festival), and 2006 Russell Schehrer Award for Innovation in Craft Brewing-Dan Carey.
Current production capacity is 55,000 bbl/year. Production includes 10 to 12 beer varieties --- with a couple of surprises for good measure. Five beers are offered year round; other varieties were designed to complement annual holidays and offer seasonal variety throughout the year, plus some surprises, so keep checking back!
