“After starting from the bottom, I worked my way up to head brewer, the head of research and development, and barrel program director, and gained valuable knowledge and responsibility,” shared Beebe. When his time at Motorworks ended, Beebe and his wife contemplated their next steps. After living in various states throughout the East Coast, Beebe set his sights on the Midwest. “When it came to the job hunt, I entertained multiple possibilities in different states, but Firehouse presented an impressive pitch about themselves and Rapid City as a whole,” said Beebe. Beebe was just what Firehouse Brewing Co. was looking for to move their business forward. His first step was to introduce a new line of crafted beers. “The first new beer I introduced was the Maltese Cross —a Vienna-style lager—and from there I began to bring in new, popular core styles,” shared Beebe. With 15 beers on tap, the range of the menu introduces customers to different styles and profiles of beer. Firehouse Brewing Co.’s menu consists of The Watch , Firehouse Light , Smokejumper Stout , Bell Tower , Blazin’ Mango , Fire Engine Red , Infernal Glow , Slow Town , Rapid Crick , and more. “I’m a true-to-style type brewer,” explained Beebe. “I want our beer to fit the specs of the way the beer styles are designed, and I see it as a creative and technical challenge to hit the mark precisely.”
