HOLTON Sean Willcott first became interested in brewing beer in 2007 when he received a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas. It really was not very good whatsoever, Willcott said. It was one of those hobbies where it s more enjoyment than the actual making process.
Though those early years of trial and error, Willcott s brewing skills have improved. With the help of brewer Will Heinen and the support of his wife, Jennifer Willcott, Sean Willcott is on the cusp of rolling out his first batches of beer under the name Willcott Brewing Co.
Sean Willcott, of Holton, has big plans for Willcott Brewing, the first known brewery to find a home in the small town 30 miles north of Topeka.
