The Manhattan Project Beer Company’s name is a nod to the scientific way the brewery’s founders create their beers. Of course, the brewery’s name also makes for cool beer names. Consider Particles Collide (a Hazy IPA), Atomic Alliance (a piña colada IPA), and their infamous Bikini Atoll (a Gose). The most fascinating thing about The Manhattan Project Beer Company besides their delicious beers, however, is how the founders upended everyone’s business plan. The founders essentially proved that one didn’t need a taproom or own a brewery to succeed in the brewery business. Their story started with a brew created for a wedding, which led to a win at a homebrewing competition, and finally culminated in their “renting brewing space like a room on Airbnb”. Since those early days in 2016, founders Misty Sanford, Karl Sanford, and Jeremy Brodt have enjoyed a cult-like following. They’re expecting to open their taproom in late 2019.

Over two decades ago, Full Quiver Farms began its journey when Debbie and Michael Sams acquired the property. Despite the vast 64-acre land and a small community, they recognized its potential. In 2002, they took a daring step, shifting from dairy to crafting artisanal cheese, a decision that would ultimately save the farm from the volatility of milk prices. With a strong commitment to customer satisfaction, they quickly built a devoted following in the world of cheesemaking. Today, the next generation, Jesse and Josh, manage the business after buying it from their parents, who now enjoy a well-deserved retirement. While their parents relax, Jesse and Josh continue the tradition of producing top-quality cheeses and mouthwatering grass-fed beef, ensuring that Full Quiver Farms remains a beacon of excellence in the industry.
