Atlanta Brewing Company was founded in 1993 by Greg Kelly, a former Guinness executive. The original brewery, a converted old brick warehouse, was located at 1219 Williams Street. Pine-sided vats and cold tanks from England were purchased, and the beer was produced using an older traditional style of brewing. The large red malt mill, still used by the brewery today, was found sitting abandoned in a meadow in England. After being shipped to Atlanta and undergoing extensive refurbishing, the mill was put to work readying the grain for brewing. In 2010, Atlanta Brewing Company changed its public name to Red Brick Brewing Company. Brewery legend has it that the name came from their original Red Brick Ale, which was inspired by a historic speech. Atlanta's mayor supposedly gave a speech shortly after General Sherman torched the city in the Civil War. He stated that the city would "rise from the ashes like a phoenix and be rebuilt one red brick at a time". In August 2018 the brewery returned to its former name of Atlanta Brewing Company. “The craft beer market has changed significantly over the last several years and we felt it was important to highlight the changes and improvements that we’ve made here at the brewery,” says brewery President Garett Lockhart.
