2 Row Brewing

It all started with a home-brew kit that Brian, President and Brewmaster of 2 Row Brewing, was given by his wife DeDe for Christmas in 2010. It seemed like a fun one-time activity, but as is the case with many homebrewers, he was hooked and soon after found himself reading every book about homebrewing he could find. Many weekends were spent taking over the kitchen to make batches of home brew. It never really dawned on Brian how good his beer had become until he started sending it to homebrew competitions and winning awards in just about every category he entered.
After a few years, that beer kit had evolved into a top-notch garage home brewery as Brian continued his pursuit for the “Perfect Beer.” Then on one fateful day while scanning through brewery equipment for sale online, he came across a listing for a very reasonably priced three barrel brewhouse with six barrel tanks for sale in Georgia. Instead of moving on and thinking “maybe someday”, he made the call and booked a flight to Atlanta.
After arriving at a Pizza/Brew Pub slated to close, a deal was made and Brian spent 3 days taking apart the entire system by himself with help from DeDe. All that brewing equipment, which amounted to about five tons of stainless steel, was loaded into a rented truck. He then drove it across the country from Georgia to Utah on a perilous journey that included a close call of almost toppling the truck in a ditch in Alabama, to driving through a tornado in Tennessee. Bad weather wouldn’t keep Utah from getting 2 Row Brewing.
To this day, Brian and the stellar team at 2 Row continue to make high quality beer, keeping customer’s taste buds happy and eager to sample what’s next.
