Skeleton Brew: A Journey of Passion, Community, and Artistic Support

Skeleton Brew has it's origins and genesis with our sister organization, Blind Skeleton which, in turn, has it's roots in a love of vintage music and entertainment.

Our founder, Victor, started Blind Skeleton as a vehicle to begin to share his collection of 78rpm records; this evolved into a web page, then a 24x7 streaming radio station, and then a weekly podcast. At the same time, Victor also began to volunteer with local community theaters, time which gave him great satisfaction.

It was during this particular time that Victor had the idea of finding a way to fund his costs for hosting and running Blind Skeleton. His personal loves are vintage entertainment, local community theater and arts and, of course, coffee.

Thus was born Skeleton Brew. Initially, sales of Skeleton Brew coffee were intended to fund Blind Skeleton's expenses. And then Victor realized he could do more.

As an avid supporter of the arts, Victor recognized the immense value local arts organizations bring to our community. They are not just cultural hubs but also spaces that foster creativity, bring people together, and enrich our collective experience. He decided that Skeleton Brew would play an active role to assist these organizations fulfill their own goals.

Thus, a fundamental part of Skeleton Brew's mission became the pledge to donate $1 from each bag sold to non-profit arts organizations. This commitment was not a mere afterthought; it was a core component of our brand identity. It was a way to give back and support the very community that inspired the birth of Skeleton Brew.

The decision to support local arts through our sales stemmed from a belief that businesses have the power and responsibility to contribute positively to their communities. By aligning Skeleton Brew with this cause, we were doing more than just selling coffee; we were nurturing the cultural landscape that had always been a source of inspiration and connection for us and our customers.

Skeleton Brew thus became a symbol of quality, sustainability, and community support. Our coffee brought people together, much like the arts, and with every cup, we were contributing to a richer, more vibrant cultural tapestry. This was Skeleton Brew’s legacy – exceptional coffee with a heart for the arts, a testament to the belief that good business and meaningful support for the community can go hand in hand.
