What started out as a hobby that the entire family loves. Has led to Janet to run the farm fulltime. With help from the rest of her family, of course.

We brew most of our beers true to traditional style, but with as many Georgia-grown ingredients as we can get our hands on. Our founders, Chris Jones and Jack "J. Ryce" Martin, met while attending college at Valdosta State University. After graduating, they both started careers and families, and their friendship grew stronger. But in 2014, the duo hatched a plan to become Valdosta, Georgia's first brewery, and began brewing beer in J. Ryce's garage. "You could say it was the beer that introduced us in college, and now it' the beer that keeps us together," said co-founder Jack "J. Ryce" Martin. | 16 | 17 |
