WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

The Dirtbag Ale legend begins several years ago while serving in the U.S. Army. One of Dirtbag Ales’ founders, Tito, traded the promise of free beer for life in exchange for a friend’s home-brew kit. There were many long nights of stove-top brews, which led to a home-made all grain brewing system founded in Tito’s garage. Brew after successful brew led to a new calling for Tito and the preliminary beginnings of Dirtbag Ales Brewery.

AS THE TALE UNFOLDS

A place to experiment, create, and embrace beer as more than just a chemical reaction between barley, hops, yeast, and water. With each step of the Dirtbag Ales journey, the founding members have pushed aside conventional wisdom, to pioneer a skillfully crafted beer that depicts a true love of brewing.
