Benford Brewing & Farm Life

10/11/2026

Yes, time to gather the Benford Brew Crew and help support this cause. Please mark your calendar!

LATR & our local music family,
One of our own, Lee Sinclair, is in battle. So we show up. That’s what family does.

Lee Sinclair is a 32-year South Carolina educator, with 22 of those being in Lancaster, a lifelong local musician and someone who now has a hell of a fight ahead of him. As he takes on defeating throat cancer, we have an opportunity to surround him with the same love, support & community that make this little town so special. The same love & support that Lee, himself, has thrown into countless fundraisers, rallies & causes.

Join Main Street on Saturday, October 24th, on the corner of Main & Gay Streets as we rally for Lee! It will be an afternoon of live music, raffles, auctions (including a cake auction), BBQ sandwich plates, and so much more. We’ll continue the celebration inside LA Tap Room afterward.

Come out, bring your friends, enjoy some music, bid on some amazing items, grab a plate, and most importantly, help us show Lee that he is not fighting this battle alone.

Every single dollar raised will go directly to Lee to help him through this fight.

Even if you can’t make it, please share this post and help spread the word. Every share, every donation, every auction bid, and every bit of support matters.

Hey ! We all know that word-of-mouth is the best advertising, and that’s what created all of you following and supporting the brewery. So we need your help spreading the word about O’Neal Shiers Aquatics, PC. With a raffle giveaway one week from today 8/12/26.

I need a minimum of 25 new likes and shares from the O’Neal Shiers Aquatics page (not from this page). The prize will be (2) New York strip steaks, and (4) pounds of fresh ground beef. I will put everyone’s name who shares the post in a hat and randomly draw a name. Hell, I’ll even throw in the Benford hat! You must be able to pick up the prize at our farm.

Next week, I’ll have the first beef in stock for purchase since closing the brewery available next week through Boxcar Farm, and yes, we still stock and sell Legacy Springs Farm Dairy, LLC .

The success of starting this pool business is what will help potentially reopening the brewery and some form in the future! Please help spread the word!

Well, it’s official!

After a six-week delay, we now have our Articles of Incorporation and EIN. We can finally enter into contracts and start construction for you.

While we waited, we didn’t sit still. We’ve been carefully reviewing past job-costing sheets and modernizing them so our bidding process is more thorough than ever — designed to minimize change orders and eliminate surprises during construction.

With the help of AI, our estimates are faster, more accurate, and better at identifying exactly how much material each job will need. Clean, efficient, and built on the best construction practices — that’s who we are.

We’re also partnering with Hayward Pool Products and Evo Pools so we can offer more options and help more homeowners create the backyard they want — whatever their budget.

Check out our website for financial guidance, product links, and our gallery of pools for ideas on your backyard renovation.

I am very proud of what we did during COVID. We never played their game after 15 days! No floor stickers, no signs, no masks! It didn’t make sense! We did what we did to survive, but it killed our distribution due to corporate policies which are all BS! We pi**ed off several other breweries! I was told by one brewery that businesses like mine is the reason why they could not open up in North Carolina….. Ha! Nope, I think it was your corrupted Government!

Finally….. some of the truth!

Ok….. back to focusing on the pool business O’Neal Shiers Aquatics, PC

Hey folks! I’m still here slammed with an assortment of new projects, along with building our new swimming pool business. We need you to still stop by to pick up your Legacy Springs Farm Dairy, LLC raw milk. It’s stocked up, so spread the word. We’re not making a living off of milk, but we sure want to continue to stock… because our kids love it! I need to get a cow scheduled, I want a steak and need beef in stock! Coming soon!

Hey folks, happy Fourth of July weekend! As much as I would love to have a b**r with everyone in this heat, our web designer is asking for reviews for ’NealShiersAquatics

Now, I hate fake reviews. I’ve actually seen several breweries start up doing this over the years. Not to mention any names, but it should be illegal. 

With that said, if you have ever been to the brewery and have spent a short amount of time in our backyard around the pool, a kind word or design comment to a review would be awesome! Thanks in advance if you’re willing to do so! Here’s the link:
