Taylor grew up in Augusta, Georgia. After graduating from the University of Georgia, he worked as a personal banker in Greensboro, Georgia. He pretty quickly decided that was not the career path for him, so he grew a beard and set on the journey of becoming a Brew Master. He was an assistant brewer at Triangle Brewing Company in Durham, North Carolina, for two years. In 2014, he was selected as head brewer for Brewery 85 in Greenville, South Carolina. Taylor opened the doors of his own Brewery on May 6, 2017. He and his wife, Michelle, have added three members to Team OBC - Their children! Leo, Jackson, and Hazel.

Leslie wanted her title to be “communication empress” but was voted down. She is a graduate of Georgia State University, with a degree in English. She handles all of our communication, but you probably won’t know if she’s at a Brewery event - she’s a behind the scene kind of gal. Meetings with her must include food. She and her husband are the humans of the best beagle ever.
