Clarence Clemons is a music legend and a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.  He spent 30 years “back to back” with Bruce Springsteen as a key member of the E Street Band.  When not performing with Bruce, Clarence  played shows around the world with The Grateful Dead and Ringo Starr’s All Star Band as well as collaborating with industry titans like Aretha Franklin, Jackson Browne and Lady Gaga. Clarence also enjoyed critical acclaim with his band, Clarence Clemons and the Red Bank Rockers.

 

When your nickname is the “BIG MAN” it helps that you are 6’5” tall and over 250 LBS! However, Clarence Clemons didn’t get his nickname just because of his stature - he earned it through the bigness of his personality and generosity of his heart.  He was a true original that loved to share his passion for living life to the fullest. To this day, through his family, his friends, his band mates and his rich and raucous sax solos, the Big Man remains an inspiration to everyone seeking to overcome the challenges of a limited life by stretching boundaries and following their passion. A message of hope that still resonates today.

​Our Mission

BIG MAN’s Brew was formed as a tribute to Clarence Clemons. But, our tribute had to be different. It wasn’t simply a walk down memory lane…that’s been done. It wasn’t about educating everyone on the arc of his life…that’s also been done. For us, the only way to pay tribute to the BIG MAN is to celebrate his legacy by providing tangible experiences that will help his friends, fans and family reconnect with his indomitable spirit and the beauty of a life lived BIG!

​

That’s why we created and launched our HAZY Groove IPA and Center Stage Pale Ale. It’s not just another craft beer…that’s been done. Our beers are made in the spirit of the BIG MAN, unique in its bold yet approachable taste and surprising in its refreshing citrus notes that leave you begging for more…just like a classic BIG MAN sax solo!

​

Over time we plan to launch new beer styles and new beverage products that will continue to amplify his larger than life personality and showcase the breadth of his many passions.

​

Please join us on our journey to celebrate the BIG MAN’S legacy. As Clarence said, “This could be the start of something BIG!”

Always remember to tip your hat to the Big Man !
