We have a BIG announcement! (Like, really big)❗️
We are so excited to officially share the news that Backside Brewing will be under new ownership in 2026. Savannah & KC McKillip have owned this business since 2012 and have put their blood, sweat & tears into making Backside the brewery you all know and love. After 13 amazing, long, tough & incredible years, the time has come for them to pass the torch.
The new owners, Karly & Dawson Batsch, are so incredibly excited to take on this next adventure. Karly has worked for Backside for over 7 years, so she is no stranger to the company, how it operates & what it needs to jump to the next level.
This journey began over a year ago and there has been so many long & thoughtful conversations between these four to make sure the transition benefits the employees and the customers, above all else. We are who we are because of each of you. Karly & Dawson want to ensure the community that Backside as you know it will remain. They plan on continuing the legacy that Savannah & KC have built, while also bringing Backside the innovations it needs to continue to push the envelope.
The official ownership change is effective January 1st, so be sure to come down and wish Savannah & KC good luck on their new adventures before the end of the year. Also, help us congratulate Karly & Dawson on such an exciting purchase & wish them luck on this huge endeavor! We are so thankful for all of you, the continued support & for choosing Backside again and again. Cheers to the best customers around 🍻
