## About
EPONYMOUS BREWING COMPANY is the passion project of Kyle McElhany and Sean Weber. Mac’s background in microbiology and Weber’s business background, combined with a mutual love of craft beer resulted in the formation of Eponymous Brewing Company in 2017. After securing a location in the Lofts at Main of Brookings, South Dakota, the duo began the buildout and licensure process for the two barrel nanobrewery operation, that commenced production in March 2018.
IDENTITY is central to the name and craft of Eponymous Brewing Company. We strive to inject identity in our beers, by incorporating local ingredients – including grains, fruits, hops, wild yeast/bacteria, and barrels from regional wineries – and pushing the boundaries of production by melding time-tested techniques with the advances of modern brew science to create novel, high-quality offerings.
OUR BEERS are available fresh from the source, at our Main Ave S taproom in Brookings, South Dakota. Eponymous Brewing Company: Handcrafted with Identity, In the Name of Beer.
