Combining a passion for craft brewing with a scenic agricultural setting, our brewery quickly became a place where guests could enjoy more than just great beer. Today, Fence Road continues to grow as a community hub for live entertainment, weddings, outdoor recreation, and memorable gatherings.
Dan Doyle | Owner, The Oasis at Warwick • Co-Owner, FRFB
Dan’s concept of an 18-hole Disc Golf Course and Pro Shop with its own brewery, restaurant, and event space began as a dream decades ago. The dream evolved over the 15 years since he purchased the property in 2011. Dan handles all financial and administrative functions for the brewery and The Oasis. The Doyle family previously owned Brakewell Steel Fabricators in Chester, NY for over 50 years.
His primary vision for The Oasis at Warwick and the Fence Road Farm Brewery is to create a fun, collaborative, playful environment where guests can nourish their hearts, minds, bodies, and soul.
Dan has been involved with the sport of Disc Golf as a competitor, organizer, promotor, tournament director, and disc golf course designer since 1974. He is a member of the inaugural class of both the NY and NJ Disc Golf Hall of Fame, and was inducted into the World Disc Golf Hall of Fame in 2025. Dan has designed over 30 Disc Golf courses, including the Brakewell Steel and Wolfe Woods courses in the Town of Warwick Park and the Oasis course adjacent to the brewery. Dan also played on 4 world championship Ultimate Frisbee teams over a 30-year career. Dan enjoys his dual US / Canadian citizenship skiing in the Canadian Rockies and escaping as often as possible to Prince Edward Island.
Charlie Holmgren | Brewmaster • Co-Owner • Music Bookings
Meet Charlie Holmgren, one of the fun and creative masterminds behind the Fence Road Farm Brewery at The Oasis!
Charlie’s brewing journey began in 1996 when, at just 18, he brewed his first batch of beer and discovered his passion. He landed his first brewing gig as a Brewer’s Assistant at Mountain Valley Brewery in Suffern, NY, where he was part of a team that won a Gold Medal at the Great American Beer Festival. That success convinced Charlie to enter his own beer into a competition at Brooklyn Brewery—and he won his category!
With his fun sense of humor and his love of community, Charlie is the perfect person to bring the Fence Road Farm Brewery to life. Fun fact: Charlie connected with The Oasis through his love of disc golf!
Oh, and did we mention he’s a musician too? Charlie books all the bands for our taproom stage.
We’re thrilled to have Charlie on board, bringing not just his incredible brewing talent, but also his fun-loving energy and dedication to the community.
