Who doesn’t want their own bar?
Jack Browns is the childhood dream of two best friends, Aaron Ludwig and Mike Sabin… They met each other at 12, formed an immediate bond over of skateboarding, skiing and beer; they’ve been inseparable ever since. The idea was the product of afternoons spent skateboarding around Alexandria and polishing their beer can collections; the realization of it was slightly more difficult, and was to come after many years and much more experience.
During high school Mike’s family relocated to Hawaii, Aaron remained in Virginia, and although it was the end of their days living down the street from each other, they kept in constant contact – they still spend more time talking to each other than to anyone else. Their friendship and professions eventually brought them back to the joint, but by a very unconventional route.
Instead of a 9-5 right out of college, Aaron and a few friends turned a love for the outdoors into a ski & skate shop in Harrisonburg. Through Aaron’s very natural talent for both business and people the shop became the largest and most successful sporting goods retailer in the area… Meanwhile, Mike declined a scholarship to art school in favor of surfing and biking down the east coast, ended in Miami, and started working in restaurant kitchens. He started at the bottom and worked his way up and through the best kitchens in the country. His innate ability and total dedication turned a passion for all things artistic into an exceptionally successful career cooking. Mike and his partner in Miami have created and operate the busiest restaurant group in South Beach, with 6 locations including one of the highest grossing restaurants in the US…
“It’s probably time to start the bar” came on a phone conversation after a particularly frustrating day at work for both; a few months later Aaron found the spot, Mike got on a plane, the beer can collections were dusted off and Jack Browns was on its way.
Come and Join this Harrisonburg staple as they celebrate the spontaneity and artistic nature of Left Hand Brewing from 5-11pm.
