MEET SHANNON HARRIS
Homebrewer Turned Brewpub Master
MEET SHANNON HARRIS
Homebrewer Turned Brewpub Master
Shannon Harris is in full pursuit of every homebrewer’s dream: his very own craft brewery. To turn his goal from dream to reality, this social media maven used a Kickstarter campaign for the initial funds. Moving beyond just appreciating craft beer for its taste, he now truly studies the artistry for the perfect pour. After countless home brews, craft brew collaborations, and social media experimentation, Shannon is about to solidify himself even further as a leader in the brewing industry. He’s poised to open the first black-owned craft brewery in Austin — Urban Jungle Brewing, coming 2021.
JUST PUT IT IN A BARREL
Don’t Overthink It!
We all know making great craft beer isn’t quite as simple as just picking up a DIY homebrew kit at the store. It takes the right tools, strategy and patience to master the art AND science. But once that’s done, it’s actually pretty simple to up your homebrew game with barrel-aging. Our job is to help you make craft - not crap - so your friends stop by every time you are ready to release your next garage brew!
Damn. Good. Barrels.
OUR BRAND PROMISE
At Midwest Barrel Co. we take pride in doing things right. Simply put, that means our customers get the right barrel at the right time, by people who actually give a damn. It’s our promise.
GARAGE BREW TO AWARD-WINNING CRAFT BEER
Whether your goal is to win awards for the best homebrew craft beer or bring the hype to the neighborhood block party, don’t miss your defining key ingredient: the barrel. Freshly-emptied barrels are sure to add depth, flavor and uniqueness to every small batch you produce.
WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?
Because barrels can be complicated, we have a team of brewers, bourbon aficionados, craft beer lovers, bbq masters and DIYers ready to share their expertise and know-how with you.
Why the biggest names in craft beer trust Midwest Barrel Co.
READY TO LEVEL UP YOUR HOME BREW SKILLS?
"Over the past four years, we’ve seen a dramatic reduction in problematic leaks and lost ZERO barrels to infection. Coupled with their excellent service and selection, Midwest Barrel Co. should be the first place any barrel wrangler looks to start, grow or optimize their program."
