About

Who we are

Jerry and Matt Roth grew up experimenting with design – building and creating things together.During a visit to their grandmother’s house in 1986, they found an ad on the back of a magazinefor a home brewing kit. Although they missed a few steps in the directions while brewing that first batch, their family and friends declared it a success. The rest (as they say) is history.

The brothers continued brewing throughout the years, perfecting their BR5 Brewing Process.This process has come to define Bastard Brothers’ product and core values. Today, Jerry andMatt are co-owners of Bastard Brothers Brewing Co., which began operations October 2015 in High Ridge, Missouri.

True to form, they bought all of their brewing equipment from a now-defunct brewery in
Kansas City, Missouri – restoring and assembling pieces that were headed for the scrap yardinto a shiny new 15-barrel microbrewery. The current space is 4,000 square feet, with plenty of room for expansion.

Bastard Brothers Brewing Co. is founded on traditional American family values: Honor, Trust,Loyalty, Respect, Pride and Fun.
