Our Story

In 2010 after graduating from The University of Georgia and moving from Athens to Kennesaw, Trey Sinclair quickly acknowledged that his new hometown did not have any local breweries. Maybe it was 22 year old naivety, maybe it was too many homebrews, but Trey set out to change that.

With no financial backing and no industry experience (investors and bankers don't count 5 gallon batches in your backyard) Trey desperately turned to industry veterans for help. A year of searching and a chance encounter led to an unlikely friendship forming with a well established brewery in Southern Mississippi, and in 2015 Trey began making the seven hour drive from Kennesaw to Kiln, Ms to brew his Dry County IPA homebrew recipe- professionally.

"I was still holding down a 9-5 job, so I was spending lunch breaks, nights, weekends cold-calling bars and restaurants with unmarked 12oz brown bottles of Dry County IPA and a business card I printed at Fedex". Miraculously, enough retailers took a chance on those 12oz bottles and a bank that had previously turned Trey down for a loan changed their mind after seeing the bright green tap handle pop up more and more around town. The Kennesaw brewery that Trey had put in motion five long years earlier was finally becoming a reality.
