Goldwater Brewing Co.’s story is deeply rooted in a family tradition of brewing, starting with Chad and Dillon McClelland’s childhood brewing experiences under the guidance of their father, Greg McClelland, an avid home brewer since 1986. This early exposure didn’t just introduce them to the basics of brewing but ignited a lifelong passion for the craft. As they transitioned from playful assistants in their father’s garage to co-owning a 10bbl brewery with 3 locations, their casual interest blossomed into an earnest pursuit.

The turning point for Goldwater Brewing Co. came when Chad, after traveling and exploring craft beer bars and breweries across Europe, Southeast Asia, and New Zealand, realized his heart was set on turning this family passion into a professional endeavor. On returning home, he expressed his deep interest in entering the craft beer business, a sentiment that quickly gained full family support.

Driven by a shared vision, the family embarked on the challenging yet rewarding journey of establishing their brewery. In 2014, they began the painstaking process of bringing their dream to fruition: drafting a detailed business plan, scouting for the perfect location, devising the brewery’s name and brand identity, and experimenting with beer recipes. Their efforts were characterized by trials and errors, but their perseverance paid off when Goldwater Brewing Co. officially opened its doors on May 1st, 2015.

The successful launch of Goldwater Brewing Co. was made possible through the collective contributions of each family member. Greg’s business savvy and financial investment laid the foundation, while Chad’s brewing expertise, honed through years of experimentation and learning, ensured the production of high-quality craft beers. Dillon’s artistic talent and background in graphic design and branding played a critical role in establishing a distinctive visual identity for the brewery, making it stand out in the local craft beer scene.

Together with their brother-in-law, Jimmy Disken, the family’s synergy and shared commitment to quality and innovation have positioned Goldwater Brewing Co. as a prominent player in the local craft beer industry. As they look back on nine years of growth and success, they are surrounded by a team of talented individuals who share their vision and passion. The brewery continues to innovate, introducing new and exciting beer recipes, and its branding and customer experience remain top-notch.

Goldwater Brewing Co. is more than just a business; it’s a family legacy built on a genuine love for craft beer. As they move forward, they are excited to continue exploring new horizons in the craft beer world, always staying true to their roots and the community that has supported them from the start.
