In the fall of 2012,

an idea sparked. There was something different going on in the beer world. Something that hadn’t been seen for nearly fifteen years. Interest in full-flavored beers was once again gaining steam. But something was different this time. The movement was bigger and gaining traction at a faster pace. It looked like there was a window of opportunity, but it wouldn’t last. Our founder, Dan, decided to leave behind corporate life and follow a longstanding dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Even better, as a home brewer since the mid-nineties, to follow his passion for beer.

In talking things over with his wife, Brooke, the couple decided to lock arms and take the plunge. A business plan was written. 401ks were emptied. A friends & family round raised. And by the spring of 2015, the first batch was brewed and ready to debut at the annual Beer Under Glass festival. ATB was born that evening.
