Beautiful Beer. Award winning. Just Different They’re more than just another Brewery. They focus on creating unique takes on classic styles – crafting well-designed, balanced ales and authentic lagers. They don’t make a bunch of hoppy beers. They don’t make Pumpkin beer. They don’t follow the crowd . They make our own path. Not Macro. Not nano. All of their Beer is made on-site on our European made 15 Barrel Brewing system – that’s 465 gallons of well-crafted beer every time they brew. They are now bottling some of our limited edition beers in large format bottles AND they have started canning our core beers. Local and Locally Owned They are in the heart of Ghent, close to Downtown Norfolk, the lively NEON Arts District and within a short distance of all of the most popular attractions in Norfolk. They’re not huge – and they aren’t owned by a big company – or even a bunch of investors. They are Family and Employee Owned. 760 A West 22nd Street | Ghent | Norfolk | Virginia | 23517 | 757.383.6438 Meet The Team Kevin Erskine Owner, President Kevin has been involved in the beer, wine & spirits industry for over 13 years – as a business owner, consultant, distiller, importer, brewer, writer, critic, and as the first American judge in the Whisky category of the prestigious International Wine & Spirits Competition.

From Backyard Beginner to Bonafide Brewer Like many craft beer pioneers, Kevin started brewing beer in college. He drank lots of craft beer during these early years, even writing his final thesis on how to start a brewery. Kevin spread his appreciation for craft beer everywhere he went. He taught his girlfriend this same appreciation through his many home brews, when visiting the Bier Garden in Portsmouth, and through his many trips to the bottle shops. She thought it was a nice hobby and didn’t realize that it was his calling until she noticed that he NEVER stopped talking about it. After marrying in 2005, Penny encouraged Kevin to follow his bliss – but not before earning some experience. Kevin begged for a job at St. George Brewery and soon after was brewing and packaging craft beer – a smile never leaving his face. But after a year of working with St. George, Kevin wanted to learn more about the industry, and took a position with Specialty Beverage to learn as much about beer distribution as he could. Another year passed and he began writing his business plan in early 2009 while brewing recipes in his backyard. Today, Kevin is still having fun doing what he loves. He and Penny run the business side-by-side with the help of their talented, beer-loving OBC team, always creating, inspiring, educating and spreading the love of craft beer and community, one beer at a time.
