Before craft beer was cool, before buzzwords and shortcuts, Blast Beer was born out of experimentation, curiosity, and a refusal to settle for “good enough.” What began as a passion project became a lifelong pursuit of flavor, balance, and controlled chaos.
Blast Beer Company started in 1990 as the brainchild of beer-loving Purdue University student Tadd Maudlin. With the craft brew movement just kicking off, Tadd drove hundreds of miles to find ingredients and bought books to learn all about how great beers are made. Since then, he has enjoyed brewing beer and sharing the process with friends and family.
This is not automated beer. This is not outsourced beer. This is hands-on, small-batch brewing, executed inside a working microbrewery at the Southernmost Pint in Key West.
From grain selection to fermentation timing to final taste calibration, Tad personally controls the entire process, applying decades of brewing experience and an obsessive attention to detail that shows up in every pour.
An 80s boombox. A stack of outlandish cassette tapes. And yes, at least one Weird Al Yankovic album in heavy rotation.
This is where ideas are born. While the tanks hum and the yeast gets to work, the lab fills with music, humor, and unexpected influences. It’s part ritual, part rebellion, and part reminder that beer should be fun, fearless, and never boring.
Handmade craft beer. Built by the character of one awesome brewmaster. Powered by decades of obsession. Inspired by science, soundwaves, and a little controlled chaos.
From 1995 to today, the mission hasn’t changed.
Make it better. Make it bolder. Make it a Blast.
