ABOUT CROOKED LETTER
Wanda and Paul Blacksmith began their brewing hobby nearly a decade ago, learning and brewing from their childhood friend when he would return home from college. That friend is now Head Brewer, John Myers. Dreams and talks about brewing spurred up on the deck during homebrew sessions for years, and then in September 2009 a journey of business planning began, and ultimately the reality came to exist in October of 2012, when Crooked Letter Brewing Company took residence in Ocean Springs. Two expansions have already occurred, with the addition of four new fermentation vessels and a bottling line, which meant another Full Time Brewer could be hired. Wanda’s brother and homebrewer himself, Scott Mitchell made the move back to Mississippi from Dallas, TX. The Brewery’s Four Core Brands are distributed throughout Mississippi and Louisiana on draft and in bottle.
