Description
Big Boss has been through a lot of incarnations. In 1996 Tomcat Brewing started which became Pale Ale (it was really owned by the same people), then it became Rock Creek, and that’s when Brad Wynn became involved. Rock Creek became Chesapeake Bay for a very short time and nearly went under. We came back and started Edenton, and then, fortunately, Geoff Lamb bought it and we became Big Boss.
