The name Homebrew hit us as we were eating at Mo's Place in Beaver, KS. Mo brewed his own beer which gave us the idea.  All of the members of the band were born or "homebrewed" in Great Bend; we were all sold on the name.
 

Brothers Aaron and Ryan Hammeke are cousins to Kyle Jeffrey.  Aaron played drums with Cody in a band he formed in high school. Kyle previously played in a band with his brother Kevin before playing in another band with Aaron, which featured Hammekes from a previous generation including Aaron and Ryan's father, Colin Hammeke. Years passed and Ryan started playing bass guitar.

With all the required elements of a band it just made sense, so after a couple of jam sessions we decided to take the show on the road.
