Goat Island Brewing

On the day of April 27th, 2011, Cullman, Alabama was turned upside down by a tornado. While devastation hit hard, something was brewing in the midst of destruction. Actions related to the rebuilding after the storm set in motion a series of fortunate events. An old high school friendship was rekindled and the passion for making good beer was sparked. Our two brew masters had a solid reputation of home brewing, designing new beers, and perfecting the American and German classics. When the two began to collaborate and brew together, magic happened and the synergy took their beer recipes to a new level. You could call it a true brewmance. Behind the scenes stood the rest of the brew crew. The full crew was represented as a rocket scientist, a geologist, an insurance agent, and a cop. What started out as a dream was in the process of becoming reality. New beer was invented, dreams were fueled, and plans were made to birth something this town had not seen since the 1800s: a brewery. Goat Island Brewing was established in early 2015 on a foundation of friendship and a firm belief that it is never too late to go after your dream. So before you begin to cast judgement, these old goats know good beer. And as they say, “Life is too short to drink baaad beer!”
