Who are we? We are Brian and Carly Ogden. We started the brewery about 10 years ago. I (Brian) started homebrewing when we met and soon dreamt of opening our own brewery. I worked at Heretic Brewing in Fairfield, CA and Carly worked for a design agency in San Francisco. I am responsible for all things in the brewery plus sales and distribution and am also the mediocre maintenance man. Carly handles all marketing, HR, staffing, our event space and general good vibes. If you’re unfamiliar with Frederick, wise up! Frederick has a strong sense of community, a great food and beverage scene, easy access to outdoor activities and we are proud to call it our home.
