Our Story

The Barn

Erratic Fermentations

Somewhere, Somehow

Erratic can mean a lot of things. Inconsistent. Unpredictable. Maybe even a little unconventional. To us, Daniel and Michael, it means something different: a constantly evolving life form.

From our start as homebrewers in the backyard barn, we’ve approached brewing as an opportunity to explore, experiment, and push ourselves into places we haven’t been before. We hit the ground running, diving headfirst into oak-aged and mixed-culture fermentations and discovering just how exciting the possibilities could be when we let spontaneity lead the way.

As we continued to push boundaries, intrigue grew. First amongst our friends, then within certain beer circles, and eventually beyond. What started as an experiment in the backyard began to take on a life of its own. Somewhere, somehow, Erratic Fermentations was born.

The Brewery

Keeping It Erratic

Respect Tradition, Resist Convention

In our new playground in Bradley Beach, we’ve been exploring a different side of brewing. Our focus has expanded into clean, traditionally fermented beers, ranging from approachable table beers & lagers to bold, high-ABV IPAs & stouts. Along the way, we’ve developed an even deeper appreciation for the classic styles and techniques that laid the foundation for everything we love about beer.

But we’re not interested in choosing one path and staying on it. We love the simplicity of a well-crafted clean beer just as much as the complexity and patience required to create something that spends months in oak. We’ll follow whatever direction excites us, whether that means revisiting tradition, experimenting with fermentation, or venturing somewhere entirely new.

Because to us, being Erratic means never being finished. We make beer with purpose, patience, and a deep respect for the process. We’re constantly learning, constantly evolving, and always doing our best to let the beer speak for itself.
