HYDERHEAD BREWERY - Key Persons
As a kid you couldn't get Jeffery Hyder to stop talking about his great "Grampa Gill" and his moonshine escapades with JW Dant in London Kentucky. Then in 1978, "Grampa Gill" passed away at 99 years old. In honor of him Larry, (Jeffery's father) Jeffery and his other siblings, built their own alcohol contraption and brewed "something" from the huge supply of orange trees growing wild, hidden near the swamp on Lake Monroe Florida. While the results were questionable, the lore lived on. In 2009 Jeffery got serious into researching the family brew - after his wife suggested that if he brewed his own beer "it might save us some money". Nearly a million dollars later, Jeffery started brewing the finest brews the family had ever tasted. This fine brewery, is a wee culmination of our heritage. We hope you enjoy it as we are.
