Our Story The concept for 14th Star Brewing Company was born on the battlefields of Afghanistan and grew from a business plan etched on the back of a battle notebook. Upon returning home to Vermont from deployment our founders, Steve Gagner and Matt Kehaya, worked to successfully launch 14th Star Brewing Company in 2012. Since 2012, 14th Star has become one of the fastest growing breweries in Vermont. In November of 2014 we moved from our 3.5 barrel brewhouse to our current 30 barrel Brewery and Taproom where we are projected to produce over 8,000 barrels of craft beer this year alone. At 14th Star, our commitment to our community is always in the forefront of whatever we do. Our goal is to be outstanding corporate citizens and consistently produce quality products for our consumers. Great beer is what we produce, community is what we build.
- Cheers!

Our nation’s Warriors are too precious a resource to lose to this invisible enemy.
