## About

An independent, family owned brewery specializing in American inspired ales using unique ingredients and new hop varieties.  The Austins are California natives that found Alpena, Michigan on a road trip and would use summer vacations to visit the area for over a decade because of the natural beauty and small town charm.  Brant Austin, co-owner and brewer, graduated from the Siebel Institute and lived abroad in Germany for Brew Master School.  Brant brewed for Ballast Point of San Diego and Mother Earth Brew Co. of Vista CA. In 2014 Brant and his wife, his brother Blake and his family, and parents Dana and Julie all packed up and moved out to Alpena, Michigan to with the dream of creating a production brewery and tasting room offering unique beers and scratch made food.  Established in 2015 Austin Brothers  can be visited for unique and experimental batches and some tasty food.
