Our Story

Opened in 2013 by husband-and-wife team Brad Benson and Lara Zahaba together with Robyn Schumacher - Stoup is a lifelong dream realized by three friends who love all things food and drink. More than a family-friendly brewery, the taprooms embrace the fundamental essence of beer: a means of bringing people together, one pint at a time.

Each of the trio left behind  “safer” careers to realize their dream of opening a brewery: Lara, nearly two decades in marketing and PR for wine importers; Brad, a career as a forensic chemist ; Robyn, 13 years as a high school biology teacher. Collectively, they believe in the community building nature of beer while individually each bring a unique perspective that makes Stoup a special place.

Our Craft

At Stoup, our craftsmanship is a testament to our commitment to the art and the science of beer. As scientists, we hold the microorganisms and chemical processes that create beer in the highest esteem. As artists, we revel in a good pour. The dual disposition honors traditional styles perfected by earlier brew-masters as well as elevates craft brewing by continually seeking a better pint.
