Hank Hanna is an accomplished and award-winning homebrewer. His entrepreneurial spirit gave way to the building and selling of a small business portfolio which allowed him to pursue brewing as a profession. He holds a General Certificate in Brewing from the Institute of Brewing & Distilling and also apprenticed under Ryan Coker at Revelry Brewing.  His passion, outside of creating incredible beer, is creating a business out of what others may consider a hobby. He wants to be known in life as a producer and not a consumer.

Interesting Tidbit
Hank’s 5x great-grandfather came to South Carolina under General Nathanael Greene of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary war and then later joined Francis Marion’s brigade. Family stories said that he brought with him the knowledge of making beer and honey wine. After the war, he built the first water-wheel rice and grain mill in the area on his farm near Lynches River near present day Hemingway, SC. It is there where history meets lore as he was said to have made the finest beer in the Pee Dee although he left no recipes or records beind.
