Captain Lawrence Brewing Company

As a John Jay High School student, Vacarro went over to the house of a friend, whose father happened to be home-brewing. Vacarro wanted to learn. "Ask your parents," the father replied. Vacarro's parents approved and he was instantly smitten. It was a love affair that would change his life. After considering accounting at Villanova, he transferred to UC-Davis to be part of its Fermentation Science program. (College for making beer? Where do I sign up?)
