History
In 2006, founders Jonathan Baker, Jeff Heck, and Joel Iverson met in a Bible study group through Atlanta Westside Presbyterian Church. They began hanging out and brewing beer in Heck's garage on Monday nights, and started creating a business plan to open their own brewery. In 2011, they launched Eye Patch Ale and Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale, brewed under contract by Thomas Creek Brewery in South Carolina.In 2012, they acquired a 20,000-square-foot building at 670 Trabert Ave. NW, Atlanta, next to the Atlanta Hemphill Water Treatment Plant, and installed a 30-barrel brewhouse. In January 2013, Peter Kiley joined the team. They brewed their first batch of beer at the new location and opened to the public for tastings and tours.
The brewery's classic necktie theme and official motto, "Weekends Are Overrated," derived from the founders' white-collar background''.''
