While we began our commercial endeavors in 2016, our roots in gluten-free beer and food go back much further. JP Bierly has been home-brewing with gluten-free ingredients since 2006, and was himself diagnosed with celiac disease in 2010. In 2012, JP engaged in an internship with Rick and Lisa Allen of Heater Allen Brewing in McMinnville in order to learn as much as possible about brewing beer commercially and running a small family brewery. As a lifelong celiac, JP’s husband Ames Bierly brings decades of gluten-free home cooking experience and his lifelong knowledge of the gluten-free community to Bierly Brewing.
