Today marks 12 years of GIB. From opening our doors to what seemed like an expansive space we could never fill, to literally shuffling beer from here to there to make it all fit 12 years later. It really has been a winding road of ups and downs and although we can never say that we have "seen it all" because every day brings some new surprise, we can say with confidence... we have always done our best to take things in stride, and work together as a team, to get the job done. 💪�
Galveston is unique. An island nestled on the shores of Texas that has more heart and pride than anywhere we've ever known. The support from business to business, the people who show up for local events, the neighbors who champion local causes, and the willingness to lend a hand when it's needed, those things aren't common everywhere. They are here. 🏝️
And inside, we've learned that a brewery isn't really measured by the tanks it owns, the awards on the wall, or even the beer in the glass. It's measured by the people who choose to spend their time here. The birthdays, fundraisers, retirements, and even the ordinary Tuesdays that somehow become memorable and a staple in people's lives (and ours). 🥰
Twelve years in, we're grateful that GIB has become a small part of so many stories, including ours. Weddings, babies and so many new friendships. Our lives would never be as rich as it is today, if we never opened our brewery doors 12 years ago. 🥺
As we celebrate this anniversary, we reflect less on what we've accomplished and more on the people who made it possible. Our staff, past and present. Our partners throughout the community. And every customer who has ever chosen to spend an afternoon, an evening, or even just a quick beer with us. 🍻
Thank you for helping us build something that feels bigger than a brewery. It is our second home, on our little island that brings us so much joy... and we hope it does for you too. 🏝️🍺
-Cheers from everyone at GIB!
