HISTORY
In late 1985, founder and owner Jerry Bechard began home-brewing in his home in Colorado. At the same time, numerous brewpubs were opening in Colorado. His fellow law enforcement co-workers always were willing and eager to be his test subjects for each batch of home brewed beer. In fact, they were responsible for naming Bumbl'n Bubba's Buzz'n Brew in the late 1988 after the celebrations of Jerry's newborn son.
Fate brought Jerry to buy the Norske Nook in 1990 and return to Wisconsin where he grew up. Jerry learned the fine art of award-wining pie and bread making at the Norske Nook. Then in 1995, after branching out of the Norske Nook to other Wisconsin communitites, Jerry longed to make beer on a larger basis. After touring over 80 brewpubs in the Rocky Mountains states and the Pacific Northwest in the last 1988, he embarked on creating the Northwoods Brewing Corporation in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
Hiring his high school friend, Tim Kelly, as his brewmaster, he embarked on setting up the brewery. Jerry brewed the first batches of beer on the new equipment in late 1997. Brewmaster Tim Kelly and Jerry have created our own award-winning beer recipes: Little Bandit Brown (Silver Medal Winner at the Great American Beer Festival) and Flopping Crappie(#1 Biker Beer, Stugis Bike Rally 2004). Each and every batch is handcrafted for your enjoyment.
