Switchback Brewing

The Switchback Brewing Company was founded in 2002 by Bill Cherry and his longtime friend, Jeff. Bill had pursued a career in brewing while Jeff had created his own electrical engineering company. Jeff convinced Bill that between his business experience and Bill’s brewing experience they could make a serious go at their own brewery. In October of 2012, we announced that we will bottle our beers in Vermont with state-of-the-art equipment that allows us to stay local and true to our commitment to quality. The centerpiece of the new bottling line is a German engineered filling system that is arguably the best in the world. The gentle and hygienic handling of the beer in this filling line allows for Switchback Ale and our Rotating Specials to be absolutely identical to the draught (keg) beer version.
