| BREW NEW & NOW BY BRANT MYERS 2019 was a year of shakeups for the local brewing scene— construction projects, changes of ownership, relocations, and, naturally, a shifting of staff between breweries. With a market that saw double-digit growth for many years, it was inevitable that there would be a period of readjustment for the industry once it settled into a long-term strategy. Change is good; it signals evolution. Luckily, no breweries have officially closed, they’ve just changed hands and reinvented themselves along the way. Such is the case with the story of Liquid Gravity Brewing Company, a shiny new brewery in an old and familiar location. Husband and wife team Brendan and Celeste Gough are the driving force behind the new venture. Both quit their jobs to focus full-time on renovating and revamping a familiar location that began life ten years ago. It is housed at the former Tap It Brewing (and, later, Santa Maria Brewing Company) location on Clarion Court near the San Luis Obispo Airport. The previous identities of a garage-themed tasting room resplendent with charming orange and diamond plate steel have now been transformed into a homey gathering spot with plush nooks, a fireplace, custom artwork, and small touches, such as a full moon overhead light and throw pillows. Step into the bathroom, and you get a blitz of flamingo wallpaper and a gilded mirror covering the entire wall. They’ve worked hard for months and enlisted every friend they could to help in everything from stripping paint to hanging said wallpaper. When asked about their style choices, Celeste waxed on about how their desire for a comfortable vibe, a living room away from home. And the best part? You don’t have to vacuum after the party. Brendan was hard at work in the back doing what he does best. Coming in with prestigious local brewing history, he is no slouch and hits bangers right away with an initial offering of five different beers of wildly differing styles. Starting as a Shift Brewer for three years at Firestone Walker Brewing Company, Brendan moved to the position as Head Brewer at Central Coast Brewing. He subsequently won five medals at the Great American Beer Festival, along with a Gold Medal for his IPA at the World Beer Cup in 2016. You can expect to see his trademark West Coast IPAs come in strong at the brewery, but by no means will that be the only offering to be had. I got the grand tour. And by that, I mean, not only did I get to see the stainless steel tanks, but I also tasted what secrets they were hiding inside. We started >> 92 | SLO LIFE MAGAZINE | FEB/MAR 2020
