From a LI Pulse Article Feb 2014 and Website “about us”

Barrage Brewing Co. was formed in January 2010 by founder and head brewer Steve Pominski.  

Steve was a homebrewer of more than 2 decades,  and after building a bar in his garage and brewing some beer to stock said bar, he decided to go pro.  “get it  bar-garage, barrage” In 2012, Steve attended the Siebel Institute of Technology and World Brewing Academy in Chicago, IL to further enhance his brewing knowledge and expertise. After a Kickstarter campaign in 2013 to get the startup capital together Steve has never looked back

Steve’s skill for making great beer stems from years of researching and testing different recipes utilizing yeasts and hops and other ingredients, some locally sourced and some from around the world.
