Like many enthusiasts Keith (along with Rob and others!) started brewing in his backyard and the idea of Long Way Brewing was born. Never one to say he's met a stranger, don't be afraid to introduce yourself. Great beer is made here and he would love to hear your journey.

Janet and Rob live next to Keith and wandered into his backyard at the wrong time. Somebody handed Rob a mediocre home brew, and ever since, he’s been the voice of reason during a process where reason has been on backorder. Janet prefers a glass of wine to a cold brew, but she’s learning. At a recent neighborhood beer tasting, she didn’t get sick and actually got a couple of refills. Baby steps. These two love Radford. If you talk American history with Rob, bring your A-game. If you ever wager a pint about the details of a past event, be prepared to settle your tab at your convenience.

Kim has been a longtime homebrewer while training horses and working as a licensed vet tech. She is married to a professional Brewer, and eventually decided to not let him have all of the fun (and her flavor ideas :-) ). Lucky us, she landed here! When she's not making beer and writing recipes, you can find her in the garden or with a knitting project on her lap. Her dog, Miller, can often be found "helping" at home and occasionally at her feet in the taproom.
