Wild Leap Brew Co. Named Best New Brewery in the U.S.

From Wild Leap:

Wild Leap Brew Co. has been named Best New Brewery in the US by USA Today’s 10Best
Readers Choice Awards! Less than eighteen months after opening their doors, they have
developed a customer base that is committed and passionate about the beer they are brewing.
The USA Today’s 10Best announced their top 20 Best New Breweries in the US at the end of
February, revealing Wild Leap Brew Co. as a contender to be number one. Nominees were
chosen by a panel of relevant experts that included editors from USA Today, editors from
10Best.com, relevant expert contributors, and other sources from these publications.
“When we first discovered we had been nominated, we were ecstatic,” explains Anthony
Rodriguez, Co-Founder. “Many of the breweries that have been on this list in prior years are
ones we have admired due to their amazing beer and contributions to the craft beer movement.”
Along with the nomination came the chance to compete for the number one spot as the Best
New Brewery in the US. Voting opened over the course of four weeks, where the public had the
chance to vote online daily for their favorite brewery.
“The most incredible thing to see has been the passion and enthusiasm from our fans and
customers,” shares Rob Goldstein, Co-Founder. “We’ve heard a number of stories of people
setting alarms in their phones to remind them to vote each day, and accounts all over Georgia
have printed materials to encourage customers to vote. In addition, seeing how many people
constantly shared the voting link across their social media channels has been truly humbling to
see.”
Wild Leap Brew Co. opened their doors in September of 2017 in LaGrange, Georgia. Since
then, they have been achieving significant notoriety in the Georgia Craft Beer scene, highlighted
by with their Alpha Abstraction Double IPA series.
However, while gaining traction they have remained a local and welcoming brand. This award is
evidence that with growth, they still value excellent beer and their customers as the top
priorities.
Being named Best New Brewery is just one component of where Wild Leap is going in the
future, and where they are taking Georgia beer. Keep an eye on Wild Leap, we have a feeling
they are just getting started!
