From Concept to Creation; How a Conversation Over Beer Turned Four Couples into Brewery Owners

Derek Shimeall, part owner of 4 By 4 Brewing Company, takes a look back at how it all began. How a conversation amongst friends led to them becoming a major player in the Ozarks craft brewing space. Starting in a small taproom across from Sequiota Park, they have grown that space and recently opened their second location in Fremont Hills. This entrepreneurial endeavor was about friends, family and community. Throw in some hops, grains, yeast and a little H2O and you’ve got a recipe for success.
