About Us:
Southern Pines Brewing Company first started as an idea in the spring of 2013. Micah, John, and Jason were at the mid-point of their military careers as Green Berets in the U.S. Army, and all had served on the same Operational Detachment Alpha Team. The three had homebrewed some in the past and enjoyed the social atmosphere that homebrewing provided. After being reassigned to new jobs, they came up with the idea of starting their own business after hearing an investor talk about his ownership in a local, North Carolina craft brewery. The entrepreneurial spark was ignited, and the three began to develop a plan to open a craft brewery of their own.
Southern Pines brewed the first batch of beer on their 15 BBL Premier Stainless brewhouse on June 23rd of 2014, one year and two days after officially filing the paperwork to become an LLC. The taproom opened its doors to the public on September 23rd, 2014, and the business was off. Southern Pines currently self-distributes beer in central North Carolina, and is excited to further promote the craft beer industry in its local market. Beyond the production batches of beer that Southern Pines distributes, it is excited to continually brew new, artisanal batches of beer on its small, 2.5 BBL pilot system.
