Freetime is the result of two friends, their love for good beer and a shared dream of building a craft business in Wales. Hamish and Rich both grew up in Wales and have been passionate homebrewers for several years. Rich is still in the motherland while Hamish has settled in the USA. The two met at school in Brecon when they were eleven years old and have been friends ever since. Distance has not stopped them from sharing recipes back and forth across the pond. Their passion for beer and the inspiring new wave UK craft beer scene paired with a firsthand understanding of the formidable US craft brewing movement led them to dream of founding a brewery. The first incarnation from 2016-2018 was known as West by Three, however in February 2019 after a draining trademark dispute, Freetime was born. Both Hamish and Rich continue to work their day jobs as well as running the brewery, the name Freetime seemed like the obvious choice for the second chapter of this adventure.
