THE HISTORY OF SWAG
Swag Brewery was founded in early 2012 by two Minnesota-born, beer-obsessed recent college graduates who decided they’d rather drink with “the man” than work for him. Their goal is to design and produce "Damn Fine Goods" that help beer, wine, and whiskey lovers squeeze their passions into into every corner of their lives.

Max, the partner responsible for business operations, graduated from the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management in May 2011 with a major in Entrepreneurial Management and a minor in Spanish Studies. He’s insanely passionate about beer (and likes to brew it) but also spends time doing other things like fishing, shootin’ guns, and tap dancing. What’s in his fridge right now? Ology Brewing Sensory Overload, Barrel Theory Raindrops, and Pfriem Pilsner.
Colin, the creative director, graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in May 2011 with a BFA in Graphic Design. What’s he drinking? Dark Horse Crooked Tree IPA, Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, and Lagunitas IPA.
Stephanie, the wisest of everyone here, is our trade show and wholesale guru. She prefers wine and weimaraners over beer, but will occasionally crack open a cider or sour brew. If you're one of our retail merchants, there's a good chance you've chatted with Stephanie - and if you've chatted with Stephanie, you will definitely remember her!
