An interview with Chris Lumpin, the current co-owner of Colonial Beach Brewing. The interview covers Lumpin’s personal connection to Colonial Beach and the history of the brewery, which was started by his parents and their partner before he and his own partner took over in 2023. A significant portion of the discussion is dedicated to a detailed, step-by-step tour of the brewing process, explained by the brewer, Thomas, covering everything from the use of “hot liquor” (hot water) to the fermentation and cleaning procedures. Finally, the interview touches on the recent business merger with a local coffee shop, Colonial Buzz, and Lumpin’s hopes for Colonial Beach’s future development, particularly year-round housing.
