From The Bruery :

In 2008, The Bruery of Orange County, California and Cigar City Brewing of Tampa, Florida were occupying their time with much of the same madness.  Patrick Rue and Joey Redner, the respective founders, were busy buying fermenters and bottling lines, figuring out health codes, zoning laws and taxation procedures and in their spare time, working on recipes for what would eventually be their first few brews.
