Once a forensic accountant and an English teacher, Heiko and Jeff Geisberg have suspended their “other lives” to embark on an artful craft beer-making endeavor in the region where they grew up – the Hudson Valley. The Giesberg brothers toured the world and met with numerous brewers before deciding to focus on revitalizing old styles in their beer-making, long forgotten by the brewing industry. At the 2016 Tap New York Craft Beer and Food Festival, New Paltz Brewing Company’s Hefeweizen earned second best wheat beer in New York State and best in the Hudson Valley. New Paltz’s Rauchbier Amber Lager also earned best dark/strong lager in both the New York State and the Hudson Valley.
