We believe the best things in life are made of simple, high quality elements combined with care
The storied legacy of German beer is built on just four ingredients: hops, barley, water, and yeast.
Likewise, some of the most productive wellness disciplines have emerged from a few uncomplicated principles. brewwell follows this recipe, too: It arose when Josh’s fascination with classic European brewing traditions and Shannon’s passion for holistic wellness practices were woven together thoughtfully, concertedly, and with love.
For Josh, brewing beer is more than a hobby; it’s a vocation he takes just as seriously as any master chef might take theirs. Though his dedication has earned him quite a few accolades, he’s not in it for the recognition. What drives Josh to make exceptional beer is the thrill of carrying on a centuries-old tradition, the satisfaction of handing someone a real taste of history.
Josh specializes in European ales and German lagers brewed with traditional ingredients using time-honored techniques. The craftsmanship that produces these classic pours is an essential part of them, and that’s why brewwell is also a teaching brewery. By sharing the philosophies and methods behind his beer-making practice, Josh gives community members the chance to engage with their pints on a deeper level.
Meet Our Cofounder, Josh
In addition to being a passionate brewmaster and dedicated business owner, Josh is known among his family and friends for having an adventuresome spirit, a steadfast heart, and a knack for working out even the most tangled conundrums. He’s an extremely caring, thoughtful community member who is always down for a good conversation, especially if it’s paired with a good lager. When he’s not brewing beer (which he does during his free time, too), you can find him roasting coffee, hiking somewhere off the Blue Ridge Parkway, or cleaning. And when he’s not doing those things, he’s kicking up his feet in his favorite wool socks so he can watch a rainstorm roll through the mountains.
Meet Our Cofounder, Shannon
Shannon’s detail-oriented, efficient, and a spatial reasoning master (no one can fit more suitcases into a car). She’s also an exceptional listener and one of the kindest, most loyal people you'll ever meet. According to her family members and friends, Shannon is the sort of person that will neither let you down nor let you settle: She'll encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and cheer you on as you chase after your dreams. Immersing herself in a blue-ridge community that uplifts creativity and promotes open-heartedness? Add some good food, great walks, a hot cup of coffee, and that’s Shannon’s definition of paradise.
And just as people can experience brewwell beer with more than their taste buds, community engagement at this enrichment destination goes beyond the taproom. Shannon knows that shared experiences strengthen relationships and new experiences foster personal growth. She developed brewwell’s suite of wellness classes, seminars, and workshops to provide community members with a variety of positive social outlets while encouraging exploration.
So whether they’re meeting up with coworkers at a weekly yoga class, meeting like-minded people at a meditation seminar, catching up with old friends over a classic lager, or making new ones at a brewing workshop, community members will feel welcomed, supported, and cared for at brewwell. It is Josh and Shannon’s shared hope that the senses of connection and belonging their establishment fosters will nourish Greenville as a whole.
