Registered with the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma but also family with the Osage Nation and Otoe-Missouria Tribe, Jake Keyes was raised in Little Axe by a single father with a knack for brewing. When Jake was a kid, he would get into his father’s brews – formulated with help from Charlie Papazian’s Joy of Homebrewing book – and try to add his own flair. Eventually, his father figured out what was happening to his batches and began educating his son on the art of brewing. Jake is the founder of Oklahoma’s Native American owned craft brewery, Skydance Brewing Company, established in late 2018. He is also the creator and host of his own podcast ‘Brewed with Hustle’; an entrepreneurship, business and leadership podcast and is a recipient of Native Business Magazine Top 50 Native Entrepreneurs.
