Finding their passion
Casa Humilde was founded in 2015 when brothers Jose and Javier Lopez bought a stovetop beer brewing kit and began making beer inside their Chicago home. What initially started as a fun hobby led the Lopez brothers to pursue making their beer professionally.
As Casa Humilde began to find their footing, they joined a local brew hall and formally launched their beer. Starting a new business brought new learnings for Jose and Javier, and they quickly realized they needed help with their numbers. Recommended by the local brewing community, Casa Humilde found Samantha Aycock, and advisor from Lance CPA.
