Our Story
Adam & Jon met at Bowling Green State University in Northwest Ohio in the Spring of 2011 and instantly bonded over arguing over which state, Ohio or Michigan, was superior, especially in craft beer quality. (Adam growing up in Cleveland, OH and Jon in Detroit, MI)
What we didn't argue over, however, was our love and dedication to hiking the outdoors, exploring the National Parks, and sailing the Great Lakes.
In 2017 we asked ourselves: with ~600 craft breweries between Ohio & Michigan, 1000's of craft beer choices, and with the rise of internet shopping being the new normal, why are regular folks stuck with the same ~10 craft beer selections from their local grocery stores weekend after weekend? And what about the folks that have moved away from the snow and cold? How are they supposed to enjoy their home state brews?
Rivalry Brews was born.
