In everything we do from our beer to our future food, we challenge the idea that tradition is destined to be broken and that perfection is bad. Exclusivity means exclusion, and we live to share. We are creative thinkers who design and brew fiendishly good, traditional beers which challenge traditional thinking —these are great beers that are supporting a lively and diverse community through sharing, education, and unwavering quality.
Community
We work to build an inclusive community of beer and food enthusiasts.
Collaboration
We strive to build relationships and collaborate with our community organizations to help fight poverty, food insecurity, and social injustice.
Trust
We maintain a community gathering space where everyone may come to learn about beer, share a pint, and share a story in a safe, inviting environment.
Honesty/Integrity
We are honest, even when it is difficult. We listen and seek first to understand.
Respect
We treat everyone with dignity, regardless of background or differences.
Excellence
We nurture our talent for unusually good products and strive to surpass ordinary standards. We shall share no beer before its time.
The Starters
Teri and Keith are a wife-and-husband team who share a common love of food and craft beverages, whether they be beer, wine, or spirits. They have been homebrewing for over twenty years, and while other homebrewers were experimenting with recipes – mainly hops and unusual ingredients – they spent the vast majority of their homebrewing careers perfecting their technique and refining their understanding of what makes an exceptional beer.
Ever since their first visit to Brussels in 2005, they have endeavored to perfect these time-tested beer styles. This has lead to a home brewery reminiscent of commercial operations, including conical fermenters and glycol chillers.
After years of searching for a suitable brewery location, Teri and Keith purchased the assets of Hops & Seed Brewing Co in March, 2025, from JM Cellars. Dru Seed, the "Seed" of Hops and Seed, has graciously accepted to join Toll Bridge part time.
