OUR STORY
Dirtbag Ales started with a home-brew kit and the promise of free beer for life. Like all great adventures, the story is full of friendship, a love for all things beer, and many a night taste-testing the fruits of our labor.

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
Dirtbag Ales Brewery & Taproom was born out of a single contracted batch of Blood Orange Kolsch and has grown into a unique location to unwind and experience beer at its finest. 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.
