Our Story

Who We Are

Prison Break Brewery was founded by two former federal inmates with more than 30 years of combined prison experience.

Today we’re free and building new lives, turning a vision born behind prison walls into a real company on the outside.

The first step to rebuilding your life is breaking free from the prison mindset. That isn’t easy. There have been closed doors and mile-high obstacles along the way — more than most people can imagine — and there will certainly be more ahead.

But imagine designing a plan while still inside prison…
and then walking out and turning that plan into a real business.

Not just any business — but one built on character, authenticity, and uncompromising quality.

That same resilience drives everything we do today.

When you’ve been one of the millions of Americans who have experienced incarceration, you learn a lot about challenge, perseverance, and second chances.

And for us, the proof is in the work.

Whether it’s our beer, our books, our music, our YouTube channel, or the products we create, everything we do carries the same authenticity, grit, and craftsmanship that define our journey.

But we’re not walking this road alone.

Part of our mission is to help others who have been incarcerated and are ready to build something better — for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Because for us, this is about more than beer.

It’s about building a company, giving back, coming back the right way — and brewing some damn fine beer along the way.

Building a company. Giving back. Coming back the right way… and brewing some damn fine beer.
