FOUNDER

The idea of Coffin Island Brewing all started with James. The story is a common one in the brewing industry. It all started with a homebrew kit gifted to James for Christmas in 2010. After brewing with a kit, a handful of times he started daydreaming about owning and operating a brewery. After involving his oldest son Bryan, they jumped headfirst into learning everything they could about brewing.

Bryan started brewing in 2016 with the goal of owning and operating a brewery. He was living in Michigan working as a bartender, enjoying the amazing craft beer scene Michigan had to offer. Bryan moved to Charleston in the summer of 2015 with the specific goal of opening a brewery with his parents and has spent the rest of his time in Charleston learning everything he can about the art of brewing great beer.
