Because I am a huge fan of veteran entrepreneurs, I will post my own list of vet owned breweries soon. However, as I am getting ready to begin a new contract I can only promise to do this as time allows. Hopefully this will be within the next week. Stay tuned.

Little Rock, AR

Diamond Bear Brewery is owned by Russ Melton, he is retired Army. Spent time in Germany and fell in love with German beer, now goes by the 1516 German purity standards with his beers. Will be moving from Little Rock to North Litter Rock and increasing in size by October. Started in 1999 and has won six national and international awards for his beers. I am a tour guide for him.

Pikes Peak Brewing in Monument, CO is owned by a former Army Captain. Killer IPA with plenty of good malty, dark beers.

Owned by a brother I served with, named in honor of four brothers who gave all. Their bourbon is top shelf, the vodka isn't half bad if you're a vodka drinker. It reminds me more of a potato vodka. In the next year he'll be coming out with a rum as well.

List moved. I'll bet Scott can contribute a ton of craft beer knowledge, looking forward to him coming on board.

Glad to see my brewery made the list!

If any of you are in NW Vermont, swing on in for one on me. (steve (at) 14thstarbrewing.com)

Steve, it's great to see a craft brewer (and veteran) drop by this thread. I'll have to make my way on over someday and take you up on your offer.
