The Brainchild of Stan Hudson and Sean Doublet

Stan Hudson

Stan is an engineer by trade and has been a homebrewer since 2007, focusing on the science and precision of brewing.

“Being able to express the passion and joy I get in producing these beers in such a way that the customers can actually feel it, making it tangible to the consumer, is the goal. I love to engage my artistic side without compromising the process or quality”.

Stan was raised in Lampasas, TX, and attended Texas A&M University.

Sean Doublet

Sean is a Chemist by education and has vast experience in large scale chemical manufacturing.

“Fermentation is probably the oldest chemical reaction that humans learned to control. For many years, I thought that owning a brewery would be a fun business.”

Sean is originally from New Orleans, LA, and attended Tulane University and University of Texas at Arlington.

The History of Neutral Ground

The original “neutral ground” was the disputed border between what is now LA and TX after the LA purchase in 1803. The two opposing generals decided to set aside fighting in the area until the border was established by the governments. The neutral ground was a place where everyone came together for free trade and fun.

The current usage of neutral ground in New Orleans is the grassy area dividing a street—the median.

The name "Neutral Ground" was chosen as an homage to our roots.
