## About

Our story is like many other small breweries. We started in the garage several years ago doing what we loved, making beer to share with our friends. As time went on and the beer became better, we were encouraged by many of our friends to open a brewery. Now 9 years after making that first beer, we have finally done it. We own a brewery!  We are proud to be Alachua's first craft brewery. We created an environment that is welcoming, fun, and relaxing. Our goal is to create a non-intimidating approach to beer and educate those that want to know about the many styles of craft beer.
