Ironshield Brewing - Lawrenceville - JULY NETWORKING

This special event will be held as a tour PLUS our GMA Networking for JULY - Please note that our typical Third Friday Coffee and Connection as well as the Networking Luncheon will not be held.

We are very thankful to Laura Madajewski of HLB for sponsoring this event. She always goes Above and Beyond! 

Ironshield Brewing is located at 457 N. Chesnut St., Lawrenceville Georgia. This brewery features a 40-foot serving bar and multiple viewing areas of the brewhouse, along with covered outdoor seating and a Biergarten.

Opened in the midst of a global pandemic, Ironshield Brewing co-founders Dave Rice and Glen Sprouse are successfully working on a business model that bucked many current beer trends.

Working with the city of Lawrenceville, the duo purchased a sprawling 56,000-square-foot building on North Chestnut Street that formerly housed the Gwinnett Daily News. And they built it out big — installing a fully automated, 50-barrel Sprinkman/Krones brewhouse, with an array of state-of-the-art bells and whistles, and a high-tech control room that ensures quality and efficiency.

Both Rice and Sprouse are Atlanta food and beverage veterans. Rice worked for Coca-Cola in packing and quality assurance. Sprouse was a pioneer of the craft beer scene, and the co-founder and brewer at Phoenix Brewing (later 5 Seasons Brewing) in Sandy Springs.
