We join John Domres at 662 Fillmore Ave on the site of the former Schreiber Brewing Company. Closed in 1950, the building has certainly seen better days (See some history here https://poloniatrail.com/location/schreiber-brewery/), but John has HUGE plans!

We took a tour and got the full rundown in October 2022. He's brewing in the space now, but we may not get a chance to enjoy the space for the next few years. Until then, enjoy this view into John's mind.
