Spike’s Story
Spike was founded by Ben Caya in the basement of his college apartment over a decade ago — a side hustle to make a little extra beer money on weekends that grew into a company and community we're proud to carry forward.
One of the guiding philosophies behind Spike came from a story Ben liked to tell: a customer was setting up his equipment for his next batch when his daughter's eyes lit up and she proclaimed, "It's Brew Day!" She knew Brew Day meant something special — friends coming over, the grill firing up, fun in store. That's what this business has always been about. We're not just here to provide the best equipment (though we are!) — we want every customer's Brew Day to be the best it can be, whatever that means to them.
Spike is now owned by Bill and Billy Walker, whose family also owns Duva Sanitary, a provider of sanitary stainless steel tubing and fittings for the food and beverage industry, including breweries. That background gave them a deep familiarity with brewing equipment and the community around it, long before the opportunity to own Spike came along.
Those roots are exactly what we intend to protect. Our commitment to well-built, top-quality brewing equipment will never change. Our focus on serious homebrewers, small breweries, and people who care about their craft will never change. We bought Spike because of what it is — our goal is to build on that foundation.
That means listening closely to our customers and continuously refining and improving our product. It also means shorter lead times, stronger communication, and a better overall experience with our company and community, every step of the way.
So from our team to yours, let's raise a glass and celebrate everything that makes Brew Day something to look forward to, time and time again.
