Foolproof

High Jinx Brewing Company was founded in 2012 by Nick Garrison, a former homebrewer from Massachusetts. Shortly after starting operations and before initial sales to the public, it was renamed Foolproof to avoid trademark conflicts with Magic Hat's beer brand, Jinx or Pennsylvania's HiJinx. It brewed its first batch in December 2013 and began in-state sales in January 2013. By the end of 2013 it had doubled its production capacity and expanded distribution to neighboring Massachusetts and Connecticut.
