Food & Beverages - Omaha, Georgia, United States
When we decided to start a brewery in Omaha, Ga., (Yes, Georgia) it wasn't only because our family believes in the 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.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.A unique asset running right underneath the breweries foundation is an underground spring, supplying all of the breweries water. The artisan spring water also has ideal, stable water chemistry, providing an optimal base of which to begin our brews and ensuring a consistent product with every batch.With the ideas of family, friends and quality always on our minds, we want to make beer that people enjoy and can relate with; Not just sometimes, but every time you look at the Omaha Brewing Company Logo, taste the foam dripping off your glass and find a six-pack on the shelf of your local store.
