14th Star Brewing is craft beer Brewed With a Mission 14th Star Brewing co-founder Steve Gagner tells us how a late night of drinking led to a WalMart run for soapmaking supplies, and how this all ties in with his eventual interest in brewing and opening his own brewery. Despite the humorous roots, Gagner takes his beer very seriously and strives to serve his community, especially veterans. The original business plan was jotted on the back of a notebook while Gagner served on the battlefields of Afghanistan.  Upon returning home, the plan was refined with the help of his best friend and fellow soldier Matt Kehaya.  14th Star opened their doors in 2012 with a 3.5-barrel brewhouse.  As demand for their beer grew, 14th Star moved their current location in 2014 and upgraded to a 30-barrel brewhouse. We talk with Gagner about hazy IPAs and the difference in a Vermont IPA and NE IPA, maple beers (we kind of had to), and we talk about his efforts to serve veterans, common misconceptions the public has about veterans, and the best thing we can do to support veterans once they return home.

E193: 14th Star Brewing with co-founder Steve Gagner

Josh sits down with 14th Star Brewing co-founder Steve Gagner. 14th Star Brewing is a brewery is a Veteran owned craft brery in Northern Vermont that, not only dishes out world class beer but, also puts an incredible effort behind philanthropic efforts to give back to both their community and veteran community. Gagner, and his co-founder, Matt Kehaya began this project shortly after coming back from Afghanastan in 2012 and it’s been growing like wild fire ever since. While they’ve taken huge strides in the past few years their goal has stayed the same; to create something that allowed them to be creative and through the sale of their product, to be able to do something to improve their community. Having just expanded to the New York market, it’s safe to say that they’re showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.
