Founded in 2011, Whalers Brewing Company is a project by Josh Dunlap and Wes Staschke. We proudly brew, can, and keg all of our offerings on site at our facility in the historic Palisades Mill campus located in beautiful Southern Rhode Island.
Wesley Staschke – Wes started brewing in 2008 while attending college, and after graduating with an engineering degree, continued to develop new recipes at home. Moving to Rhode Island in 2013, he began working on his own brewery before joining the Whalers team. Wes favors lighter, more sessionable beers, as well as his growing love of hard seltzers.
Josh Dunlap – Shortly after being honorably discharged from the United States Marine Corps, and while working as a commercial fisherman, Josh decided to make good on a longstanding dream to start a brewery. Now he spends his days making beer, with an eye towards higher ABV, barrel aged, and hoppier styles.
We are passionate about supporting them. Come along, we are sharing amazing stories & images that will inspire and entertain you.
