Who owns Big Kettle Brewing Company?

Answered by Brandon Riddell

Big Kettle Company is owned by Dave Rice and Glen Sprouse. These two individuals came together to create the concept of a contract brewing facility in response to the increasing demand in the craft industry. As a sommelier and brewer, I have seen firsthand the challenges that craft breweries face when trying to keep up with the demand for their beer. Many small breweries simply do not have the capacity or resources to produce enough beer to meet the needs of their customers.

Dave and Glen recognized this need and saw an opportunity to fill the gap by providing a facility where craft breweries could have their beer produced locally. This concept of contract brewing allows smaller breweries to focus on their recipes and brand, while leaving the production and distribution to a dedicated facility like Big Kettle Brewing Company.

I have had the pleasure of visiting Big Kettle Brewing Company and speaking with Dave and Glen about their vision for the company. They both have a deep passion for and a strong desire to support and promote the local brewing community. They understand the challenges that craft breweries face and are committed to providing a solution that allows these breweries to continue producing high-quality beer.

One of the unique aspects of Big Kettle Brewing Company is that it is the first purpose-built contract brewery in the metro Atlanta area. This means that the facility was specifically designed to meet the needs of contract brewing, with state-of-the-art equipment and a focus on quality control. Dave and Glen have invested heavily in the facility to ensure that it meets the highest standards and can produce beer that both they and their partner breweries can be proud of.

In addition to providing contract brewing services, Big Kettle Brewing Company also offers support and guidance to their partner breweries. They have a team of experienced brewers who work closely with the breweries to ensure that their recipes are faithfully reproduced and that the beer meets their exact specifications. This level of collaboration and support sets Big Kettle Brewing Company apart from other contract breweries and has been a key factor in their success.

Dave Rice and Glen Sprouse are the proud owners of Big Kettle Brewing Company. Their passion for craft beer, commitment to supporting local breweries, and dedication to quality are evident in every aspect of their operation. I am excited to see how Big Kettle Brewing Company continues to grow and contribute to the thriving craft beer scene in the metro Atlanta area.
