Discover the untapped potential of Back Forty Beer Company, where our name pays homage to the unexplored land that holds hidden treasures. Just like the back 40 acres, often overlooked and underestimated, Alabama has long been dismissed as a craft beer wasteland. But if you take a closer look, you’ll find that the fertile soil of our state is brimming with potential, waiting to yield a bountiful harvest.
At Back Forty, we believe in the transformative power of microbreweries and their ability to revitalize communities. Growing up in a blue-collar town that fell victim to the industrial revolution, our founder, Wilson, understood firsthand the importance of creating something meaningful and sustainable. That’s why he chose Gadsden as the permanent home for Back Forty Beer Company. Nestled within a 27,000-square-foot warehouse, a testament to the town’s industrial heritage, we have transformed the space into a vibrant hub of craftsmanship and innovation.
For eleven months, our dedicated team of four employees poured their hearts and souls into restoring the warehouse and equipping it with state-of-the-art brewing equipment. We have painstakingly preserved the historical charm while creating a modern facility that allows us to produce exceptional craft beers. With unwavering passion and commitment to quality, we have crafted a lineup of brews that captivate the senses and redefine the beer landscape in the Deep South.
Our mission extends beyond brewing great beer. We aim to cultivate a thriving craft beer culture in Alabama, where the mass-produced light beers have long dominated the market. We invite you to join us on this journey of exploration and discovery, as we bring to light the unique flavors and experiences that only craft beer can offer.
