It all started when Nick and Dustin met at work more than ten years ago and bonded over a lot of things. One of those things was beer. They started brewing batches at home, and a weekend hobby, a way to unwind and get the families together, slowly grew into a full-fledged dream. That dream is now Lake Pleasant Brewing.
In the spring of 2020, Nick and Dustin both found themselves out of work at the same time. With the world shut down and nobody hiring, the two families sat down and planned how to turn that dream into reality. We wrote a business plan, toured possible spaces, and by Thanksgiving 2020 we found our home in North Phoenix at 19th Ave and Rose Garden.
We got the keys on February 12, 2021, and construction started. Nick and Dustin spent the next year planning and building the brewery you see today. Exactly one year later, on February 11, 2022, we held our grand opening and welcomed the community into our family.
Today, the real support behind the taproom is our crew. Aaron, John, Olivia and Shea keep the pints pouring and make everyone feel at home, and Rainer helps us brew every batch. Add in the regulars, neighbors and friends who keep coming back, and you have the heart of this place. We couldn't do it without them.
Lake Pleasant Brewing is family-owned and built to be a home away from home: a place to share a love of beer, recover from life's challenges and celebrate its wins. To us, beer is more than a drink in a glass. It brings people together from every walk of life, and it has a way of turning strangers into friends and friends into family. We're honored to pour you a pint.
Cheers!
Nick, Dustin and the whole LPBC crew
