Creating a sustainable food system has always been important to Jones, and building a business that helps support others is next on her to-do list. Giant Jones Brewing Company—poised to open in 2017—will brew beers “inspired by quality and simplicity and tradition,” says beer-loving Jones. Using organic and locally sourced ingredients, it’ll be her creative way of enriching and supporting the Wisconsin food community.
“Food is the fabric that knits us all together,” says Jones, “that keeps me going, and keeps me inspired.” –Elle Duncombe-Mills
