Char launched Hardisty Brewing Company in March of 2020—just as COVID19 was shutting down so much of the world, but her company as embraced by local beer enthusiasts and continues to grow and make fans. Hardisty uses local hops and also spent grains from a local farm in creating their signature brews, of which they currently boast eight different types—pale ale, pilsner and porter among them.
