Rivesville native Aaron Rote, his sister Abigail Kopischke, and her husband, Mike Kopischke, started Short Story Brewing in 2017 after Mike Kopischke had been brewing his own beers for about eight years. Mike specializes on the brewing side while Abigail takes care of the business side. Rote handles the presentation side, such as the appearance of the taproom and working with people. Through their hard work, Short Story Brewing has opened three other locations outside of Rivesville: Deep Creek, Md., Charleston, and a new location in Morgantown. They also contribute regularly to the Rivesville area, investing back in the Rivesville Elementary/Middle School that Rote and his sister attended, hosting the Ready, Steady, Run 5K, and hosting community events in the distillery. Sen. Mike Caputo said how much Rote and the Kopischkes have given back is a testament to who they are as people. “They just got hearts of gold,” Caputo said. “They just always want to share their success with others. They don't keep it to themselves. They share it with others, and it's been great for the community.” Read more: https://www.timeswv.com/news/business/rivesvilles-short-story-brewing-named-family-owned-business-of-the-year/article_f46029b4-4aaa-11ef-84b6-a34465488bf0.html?es_id=cc739026f5   Find these stories and more at wv.gov/daily304.
