In a time of chaos and uncertainty, two best friends James and Dan decided to live out a dream they both had. Friends for over 20 years and craft beer enthusiasts, the two came together after leaving their previous professional lives to open a craft brewery. James and Dan added the business expertise of Dan’s brother, Johnny, and Johnny’s business partner and friend, Adrian, to the team. Shortly thereafter Banter & Company Brewing was born, opening its doors to the public in April 2022. Banter’s selection includes ales, porters, stouts, bitters, and beer cocktails.
