We Brew. Everybody Drinks. Repeat.
Meet the Brew Crew … Back in 1999, craft beers were revolutionizing America’s beer culture. That same year, Brewmaster Joe Katchever founded Pearl Street Brewery – with only a dream, a 1984 Eagle Wagon, and a trailer packed with brewery equipment driven from Colorado to the heart of La Crosse, Wisconsin.
Although Joe and his dad started in a small, subterranean brewhouse on Pearl Street, the celebration and Grand Opening was enough to attract a mob of flavor-starved people and get Mayor Medinger to tap the inaugural keg. Pearl Street Brewery eventually expanded to the historic La Crosse Footwear building on Saint Andrew Street.
We’ve come a long way. Today, Pearl Street beer can be found on tap in most restaurants and bars in the area and on the shelves of retailers around the state – and now, in Minnesota and Iowa. But the one thing that hasn’t changed over the years is a big commitment to making great beer. It is the only thing that still matters. It’s that simple. We’re inspired by good beer.
The crew behind the brew.
What kind of people run a brewery? The dedicated kind. The fun kind. The do-whatever-it-takes-to-get-it-done kind. At PSB, we attribute the fine quality of our beers to the fine-quality men and women who make it happen. Stop in and get to know the people behind your favorite brew.
