1. Other Half Brewing Co.

Washington, United States

In 2014, Sam Richardson, Matt Monahan and Andrew Burman founded Other Half Brewing Company, a local brewery in New York City with a simple mission: to create beers that they wanted to drink from a company that they wanted to be a part of. Their vision was to build a passionate team that brewed great beers in the state of New York—done so with effort and thoughtfulness—to represent the “Other Half” of the industry. Today, Other Half craft beers in their Brooklyn brewery and are dedicated to collaborating with breweries both in New York as well as across the world in an effort to constantly move the industry forward while elevating the craft. The Other Half team believes that local breweries play an important role in their communities which is why they partner with these other likeminded brewers and brands in local nabes across the country and the world—but always return to their home state of New York and their Brooklyn taproom.

2. Lost Generation Brewing Company

Washington, United States

Beer drives us. It unites us. We painstakingly choose the best hop lots to make IPA that inspires, take time and care with our lagers to make sure they will amaze, and hand pick our aging program barrels to ensure that what comes out will always impress. We believe that if you’re going to do it, do it right and do it well. And that’s because we make beer for people we love: family, friends, neighbors, and even those who are just goddamned thirsty. In here we believe that each pour is an invitation to be one of us. As Gertrude Stein once said, “You are all a Lost Generation.” In here we hold that to be true. We are all one and the same, so let’s raise a glass and have a beer together.
