5.Taps are Flowing –The Backstep Brewing Company was founded in April of 2016 when two career firefighters took a chance on a run-down dive bar and abandoned prohibition era hotel. Co-founders Jim Boros and Patrick Pennington not only worked on the same fire engine, but also shared a passion for all things craft beer. What started out as a fun hobby and pastime, eventually turned into starting their own brewery and taproom.
