How Bigelow Came to Be
The story of Skowhegan’s beloved Bigelow Brewing Company starts when Pam and Jeff met at Skowhegan Area High School in 1978. They started dating as Juniors, and have been together for 43 years. Pam says, “it helps to have a lot of beer,” in regards to that incredible and long feat.
Years later, in 1989, Pam purchased a home brewing kit for Jeff for Christmas. He brewed his first Batch that January. Though the first batch didn’t come out as expected, on his second brew he fell in love with the process and knew he wanted to open a brewery one day.
