MAKER of the MONTH - HECK BREWING
We’re thrilled to celebrate Heck Brewing as our February Maker of the Month! Andy and Justin embody everything we love at John’s Marketplace—a relentless passion for craft, boundless curiosity, and a commitment to creating not just an incredible product, but a thriving community. We were proud to be one of the first retailers to showcase Heck in our ever-expanding non-alcoholic beverage collection, and we’re even prouder to see their well-deserved success as they continue to grow in markets, bars, and bottle shops across the State. In that spirit, we’re stoked to have their collaboration with Puff Coffee on draft at all of our locations! “Secret Handshake” is a N/A coffee stout, featuring the expert roasting of Duane Sorenson (Puff Coffee) and Justin’s masterful brewing—delivering a bold, rich stout experience without the alcohol. And that’s not all! All month long, we’re featuring their flagship beers on sale: Silver Linings IPA – A West Coast-style IPA, perfectly bitter, balanced, and full-bodied, with notes of spruce, mandarin, and pineapple. Gentle Persuasion Golden – Their take on a classic crisp European-style lager, smooth, refreshing, and endlessly drinkable. Come raise a glass (or a can) with us and celebrate Heck Brewing all month long! Cheers!
