The Origin Story

Southern Sky Brewing Company is a 100% family owned brewery. We have a small team, consisting of our Brewmaster, Jon Near, our Head Brewer, Josh Ingle, our Brewery Representative, James Robinson. our Marketing and Events Coordinator, Brittany Trambauer, and our Tap Room Manager, Sarah Nearing. The brewery also receives help from Jon’s family and close friends. We believe this not only makes us unique, but also gives us a special quality that we can bring to the Atlanta beer community. We do not have any outside investors, so all decisions can be made by the Brewmaster to benefit the beer and help fill a specific need in the metro Atlanta area.

The size of our system and our streamlined decision making process gives us flexibility to create new one-offs that are a little bit out there. We want to work with the community to bring a wider variety of craft beer to the Georgia market. We are open to collaborations with other members of the beer community, from home brewers to established local breweries.
