"IRBC is a family business from the get-go. Master brewer Tim had been a hobby brewer for many years. Working with traditional, and non-traditional ingredients he had perfected a variety of beers and ales for a wide range of tastes.

Tim's son and IRBC Co-Owner Nate, has many childhood tales of preparing hops and other ingredients for dad's brewing.

Both Tim and Nate are career tradesmen and had a strong desire to bring this hands-on tradition to brewing. This is exemplified by them building most of their equipment from scratch as well as completely remodeling the IRBC building."
