Wooden Hill Brewing

For his 21st birthday, James received a homebrewing kit from his older brother, Sean, who was an avid craft beer enthusiast. This gift ignited a passion in James, leading him to develop and brew nearly a hundred unique beer recipes over the following years. One of his greatest joys in brewing was sharing his creations with others, which inspired him to partner with Sean and turn his dream into reality. Together, the brothers founded the first brewery and taproom in the City of Edina.

Raju’s Arts

Raju was born into a traditional Nepali family in a beautiful, remote village. His artistic journey began in childhood, when he would craft toys from mud, sand, stone, and wood. Even during his school years, his passion for art drew him away from science and technology, leading him to pursue a bachelor’s degree in fine arts.

He frequently showcases his work in galleries, environmental fairs, and exhibitions, receiving widespread appreciation and positive feedback. He hopes that through his artwork, people will recognize the potential of reusing discarded materials to create meaningful art.
