Omaha Brewing Company

When we decided to start a brewing company in Omaha, Ga., (Yes, Georgia) it wasn't only because our family believes in the craft and individuality found in each craft beer, but because craft beer isn't prevalent enough in the South.  We want to incorporate our family-oriented upbringing into the craft beer industry and brew a barrel of beer that feels like Southern comfort and the crisp mornings Georgia knows best.

Robert and Stephanie Lee began the foundation for OBC on December 12, 2012 after realizing the crossroads between opportunity and necessity. It takes a consistent effort and people who care to operate a craft brewery, and the Lee's  found that foundation after hiring Brewmaster Nick Fowler, formerly of Red Brick Brewing Company in Atlanta, and assistant brewer and social media director Rob Lee, Robert's son. OBC has since hired head brewer Grant Kirby, formerly of Five Seasons Brewing and Sweetwater Brewing Company, and lab technician Olivia Lawnick.

Omaha is located just south of Columbus, Ga., on the Alabama line where Robert grew up with his four brothers and two sisters.  Our current building was built in the late 1940's as a school and renovated in the 1990's into an industrial plant manufacturing miscellaneous parts.  When Dr. Lee bought the building in early 2013, renovations began and continue to this day.
