Erik Schmid owns a VW Bus inspired brewer called Red Bus Brewing Company. He has found a way to combine his passion for cars and his craft brewing beers. His hyperlocal craft brewery serves as a gathering place for the local beer community and although he’s Porsche and VW centric, he and his team host all marques of automobiles as a gathering place for enthusiasts. Erik has had around 40 unique vehicles in his garage and today he plays with a 1965 Baja Bug, 1968 VW Transporter, 1974 Westfalia, 1970 914-6 racecar, and a Porsche Cayman. He has completed his SCCA Competition License School and looks forward to running his 914 in vintage racing events
