## About

52 West Brewing is an independent regional craft brewery, located in the heart of North Georgia Wine country.  The owners, husband and wife team, David Burns and Samantha Couzens realized one Sunday afternoon while visiting a local winery, that the one thing missing from Dahlonega was a cool brewery.  One that offered the same unique experience the wineries had: amazing scenery, music, a laid-back vibe that was close to home but could make you feel worlds away - BUT WITH BEER.  Dave has always had a love/love relationship with beer.  Drinking it was one thing.  The question was could he make it?  Starting with a home brewing kit and an insatiable thirst for great beer.  The journey to make 52 West Brewing a reality had begun.
