About the Brewery
About our Philosophy:
Jessup Farm Barrel House is founded on having fun and letting our creativity explore the myriad of possibilities blending beer has to offer. By blending beers with different fermentation variations, we are able to create unique and original flavors. Our goal is to take the robust characteristics from the barrels, and blend to bring out the complexities and nuances of the flavors. This is what makes us one of the best Fort Collins breweries you can enjoy a drink at.
About our Brewer:
Our head brewer, Jeff Albarella, took a scientific path on the way to a career in the craft brewing industry. After earning a BS in Biology from Purdue University, Jeff spent over four years in the consumer product industry, working in research and development, product support, and quality assurance and quality controls roles. Next was a five-year stint as production manager in a Biotech startup company. During these nine years in the scientific industry, Jeff developed an interest in the culinary arts and an ever-deepening love for all things beer.
Jeff now has over fourteen years of experience as a professional brewer. After graduating from the Siebel Institute’s World Brewing Academy International Diploma in Brewing Technology program in 2009, he began his career as Assistant Brewer at Carver Brewing Company in Durango, CO, eventually taking over as Head Brewer in 2012. In 2013, Jeff earned a Gold Medal for his European-Style Dunkel Lager at the Great American Beer Festival.
In 2015 Jeff moved to Fort Collins to start a new venture - Jessup Farm Barrel House - as a founding member.
About the Barn:
The brewery is housed in a 140(ish) year old, 3,000 square-foot restored barn that sits on the 13-acre Jessup Farm Artisan Village, next to the housing Bucking Horse development.
The original structure of the old barn has been preserved as much as possible. The first floor of the converted barn is used for fermenting, blending and barrel storage. The upstairs features a large wrap around bar and communal tables.
