Edison Brewing Company

Edison Brewing Company

Edison Brewing Company was an idea turned to action, which only seems fitting for the man behind it all, Wil Schulze. Wil was raised in a small rural Ohio town that was predominately made up of German heritage. He grew up surrounded by a town that acted more like a family than random people living close together. These people loved to spend their time drinking beer together. This sparked Wil’s love for the German culture. When doing research on family history many people look to one place, but for Wil that wasn’t the case. What he found was that his family lines traced to all parts of Germany and the Netherlands. They moved about likely looking for a place to land. Wil still has a lot of these places to visit. For Edison it’s not going to be all about the German beers, rather the craft that designates their style. As you go around you’ll find many styles and most breweries make one or two but much more exist. Edison Brewing Company will be different than other local breweries because it won’t stick to a single craft. For Edison, our decision to focus on the European styles offers us a way to tie heritage from many backgrounds. When you come in you can try many beers from various countries. As Edison continues, Wil hopes to experiment with Victor to create some really interesting and unique releases. Many people come in questioning, “Why a Thomas Edison influence?” Well, Edison’s work with electricity is the foundation for today’s delivery system. Many electric companies have and still carry Edison in their names today. Choosing Edison is a nod to the industry that Wil has enjoyed working in for most of his career. For the future of Edison we want to improve the patio and Biergarten. Most of all, we want to let Eddie evolve. Good ideas come with time. Prost!
