Grumpy Old Men Brewing
Grumpy Old Men Brewing was founded in October of 2012. Their first legal brew was shipped in July of 2013. The brewery was founded by a couple of retired beer enthusiasts that went from brewing in an outdoor shower to opening their own Micro-Brewery located in Blue Ridge, Georgia. In 2018, the guys decided it was becoming too much work so they passed over their tap handles to another Grumpy Old Man & his Crabby Old Lady. The original grumpy old men are now enjoying their retirement from the other side of the bar, drinking the awesome beer they created and hanging out with everyone. Located at 1315 East Main St., Blue Ridge, GA 30513.
