The Hamilton family a young couple,29, with two preschool children decided to make the first move toward their American Dream. They sold their home and practically everything in it in order to start Hamilton Family Brewery. The Hamilton family based in Rancho Cucamonga moved in with Crysten’s parents and got to work! Josh and Crysten took drastic steps to launch Hamilton Family Brewery. A failed attempt at a startup campaign left the Hamilton Family Brewery with not enough money to meet their goal of $25,000.
A family member threw out the idea of selling their home and thats when the idea was sparked, if people where willing to invest in the Hamilton Family Brewery why couldn’t they sell their home to get the capital to invest in their American Dream. Their 700-square-foot hoe in Rancho Cucamonga’s Victoria neighborhood, with two bedrooms and one bath would be sold.
Although some real-estate agents doubted the equity that had built into the home, which they’d purchased in 2009 for $195,000. It sold within three days for $283,000. They cleared about $72,000.
Their fate was sealed the Hamilton Family Brewery moved their family to north Upland.
They signed a lease in December at 9757 Seventh St. (off Archibald) in the Scheu Business Center, over the next six months, the Hamiltons got the permits and did the tenant
improvements they needed to open. Building long communal tables for customers, tested recipes and created paintings for the walls to illustrate each of their six core beers. Each beer has a story and each painting has a local scene — Cucamonga Canyon, an orange grove, the stone church on Archibald Avenue — and sometimes incorporates the couple’s friends.
The tasting room is open 4 to 9 p.m. Thursdays, 4 to 10 p.m. Fridays and 2 to 10 p.m. Saturdays. They have no employees, just four volunteers who help the couple brew and serve.
If you are looking for a true local brewery the Hamilton Family Brewery is the place to be.
