The House is Hot but the Beer is Cold!

Our Story

Three long-time high school friends, a passion for home brewing, and a greenhouse operation were the inspiration for Hot House Brewing. 

John Barone, owner of Barone Gardens LLC, had an interest in growing hops in his greenhouse facility. John’s vision is to be able to have multiple harvests of hops per year with the assistance of LED lighting to produce wet hop brews beyond the traditional fall season. Tim Parkhurst and Paul Richer had a talent for crafting home brews. Together with John’s greenhouse facility, this was a perfect fit for a brewery with a unique niche of using greenhouse grown hops in our beer production.

We Package Our Own Beer

You know the beer is fresh when we brew it and can it in the back, and sell it in our own shop up front.

Our labels are designed and illustrated by Jerry Russell, another high school classmate of “The Brew Crew” – John, Tim, & Paul.
