The Birth Of Pee-Pa’s Garage Craft Brewing

An open letter from Jim Brown, our owner and patriarch

I’ve  been a member of Pinellas Park’s great business community for 40 years. I’ve watched open lots become industrial parks and communities grow around my business.

I’ve seen this extraordinary city change, and change it has!

Our blue-collar roots are blending with a rich art and food community, and even my family is taking on new trades and skills. My son, Andrew, has a passion for brewing. And my daughter, Ashley, has become an inspiring industrial/metal artist.

Over the pasts few years, I found myself contemplating… what is the best way to support my community & support my children? The answer to this question would later form into the idea, Pee-Pa’s Garage Craft Brewery.

My ah-ha moment came to me when I was working on my barn in Georgia. I was putting together my man cave / home brew hangout, and one weekend afternoon, I thought, why should I have all the fun. I could take my hobbies (cars, creativity & beer) combine them with my children’s skills, and build something that supports my family & my community.

After long consideration, support from my wife, and the backing of my family, I started transforming North St. Pete Collision to Pee-Pa’s Garage Craft Brewery.

So, if you are looking for fun, friends, family, cars, art, and great beer, stop by Pee-Pa’s Garage Craft Brewery. We host paint n sip events once a month at Pee Pa’s in Pinellas Park. See what’s coming up on our EVENTS CALENDAR.
