How it all began..

The Oyster City Brewing Company was conceived in 2012 on the barstools of The Tap Room in Apalachicola with one frequently asked question:

"What's your local beer?"

Committed to thorough, practical research, we sampled hundreds of pints of craft beer from all over the state and region. Tough work for sure, but slowly it began to dawn on us, "We might could pull it off.”

We set up a home brew system in our backyard and proceeded to make sometimes decent, sometimes pretty terrible beer. We passed out samples to our friends and neighbors in exchange for feed back. While the reviews were mixed, one thing stood out consistently.

Our community was excited.

They encouraged us. They cheered us on. So we practiced and practiced, and read lots of books, and drank lots of beer, and talked to brewers all over the Southeast, whose help, expertise and advice were given freely and without hesitation. Eventually, we put together a plan and transformed an old dive bar into a little brewery and got to work, guided by the mission to improve our beer with every batch.

To this day, we still start each morning committed to making our little slice of coastal paradise proud. Cheers!
