Copy link1. Mash Monkeys Brewing Company
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Kirk FunnellMash Monkey is the newest addition to the Treasure Coast Wine and Ale Trail. Brewers Derek Gerry and Pat Kirchner met in the Boil Over Boys of Sebastian, a local homebrew club dedicated to helping local homebrewers create better beer and contributing to local charities. After several years, Pat and Derek started to brew collaboratively, coming up with many true-to-style renditions of classic beers and added some very off-the-wall practices to their brewing as well. One brew day, they began jokingly throwing around ideas of opening their own brewery. The joking turned to serious planning and within a year and half of the conception of their idea, Mash Monkeys Brewing Company was born.
