Former Otter Creek brewmaster opening new Vermont brewery
Beer industry veterans are probably familiar with the name, Steve Parkes.
Parkes started out as the brewmaster at Humboldt Brewery and then went on to become the brewmaster at Otter Creek Brewing, spending a decade in those roles between the two breweries.
Parkes is also the owner of the American Brewers Guild.
Now he is setting his sights on a small brewery of his own that he’s calling Freestyle Brewing. The brewery already has a location in Middlebury, Vermont, near Otter Creek. According to recent Facebook updates, things seem to progressing smoothly both on the facility end and logo/identity end.
Parkes hopes to open up shop early next year.
