4th Tap Brewing Cooperative was a work-owned co-operative brewery that started in my garage in 2011. I was a founding member, assisting in the writing of bylaws and impemention a co-operative business model. I stepped away from the business side of things in 2013 as I began to take on more of a leadership role for FreezerBurn, TX.
4th Tap went on to open for business in the fall of 2015 and served as a community hub hosting food trucks, musical performances, and other events, such as Party World Rasslin’ until closing their doors in 2022.
