Belleflower is co-owned by the Page and Bonadies families. Our collaboration started ten years ago when Zach and Nick met as homebrewers who volunteered to help launch Trillium Brewing Company. After moving to Portland with his family, Zach worked at Lone Pine Brewing Company where he facilitated their expansion and brewed some great beers. Nick coordinated Trillium's expansion projects before combining creative energies with Zach, Melissa, and Katie to bring you Belleflower Brewing Company. Zach and Nick bring a combined fifteen + years of brewing and operations experience in the craft beer industry to Belleflower and co-lead both. Melissa is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a Master’s in Clinical Nutrition and manages Belleflower's food programs. Katie is a writer working for nearby artist studios and provides the creative direction behind Belleflower's voice. Belleflower is named after Nick’s family farm, which has been a gathering place for generations of family and friends for the past two centuries. Named for a beloved apple tree that fell many years ago, the trunk of the "belleflower tree" has since been repurposed as a decorative beam in the barn. Today it is a reminder of the enduring grit and ingenuity of New Englanders. Like the generations that came before us and the breweries that have raised us, Belleflower Brewing Company hopes to continue this legacy by creating a gathering place for many more generations to love.
