Ten questions that pull back the curtain on the geniuses that make our beer great.
Get to know your brewer @heavyrotationbrewing.
Meet Josh. He’s the head brewer, and henchman of Hazies, at Heavy Rotation Brewing in Brooklyn Park, MN. • Construction of HRB started in November of 2021, and they opened their doors April 8th, 2022. Their one year anniversary is coming up! • Josh first began home brewing in 2010. He’s had recent stints @wickedwortbrewingcompany and later, in packaging, with the good folks @utepilsbrewing. • The first beer Josh brewed at HRB was their Zwickelbier—a fresh, sessionable, slightly hoppy Pilsner. • HRB uses a 3.5 bbl, three vessel electric brewhouse by @blichmannengineering. They also have eight 3.5 bbl stainless @ssbrewtech unitanks. • Josh loves to brew what he likes to drink. And for him, that’s definitely his Vienna Lager and the English Dark Mild. • There haven’t been too many hiccups at HRB, thankfully. Josh says he leaned pretty heavily on @brewermichaels at Venn Brewing and @tombergmpls at Falling Knife. Both guys were excellent resources for HRB. Proper carbonation in a fermentation vessel can also be a finicky leaning curve too. • Heavy Rotation just started offering four-packs of 12 oz bottles from their taproom. They’ll be starting a small barrel-aging program this year. HRB just recently teamed up with Minnesota legend, @gablesteveson. Check the beer out! • HRB always has 16 different beers on tap. Their smaller system allows them to consistently put out new beers. They also have a free arcade! • Josh’s favorite lawnmower beer would be @modelousa, both Especial and Negra. • When he’s not brewing, you can catch Josh spending time with his partner, Jessi, and their two dogs, Bogart and Jimmy. He loves to cook, camp, and kayak.
