Project Hummingbird a cooperative between small brewers and Oconee Brewing designed to reduce the cost of beer production.  Nathan and his wife, Jessica, are the proud parents of three daughters and a son.
About Oconee Brewing: The seed for Oconee Brewing Company was planted when John and Nathan McGarity heard a friend comment that Greensboro, Georgia would be a great location for a craft brewery. The father and son real estate team immediately saw the potential in the idea. Although still a quaint, small town of a little over 3,000 residents, Greensboro has a thriving day trip tourism industry, being part of the Lake Oconee area. Greensboro already had great restaurants and boutiques, and plenty of lakeside activities, but what they didn’t yet have was a craft brewery.
Oconee Brewing Company stepped in to fill that void, opening on May 6, 2017, after the McGaritys teamed up with partner and master brewer, Taylor Lamm. Together they transformed a 6,000 square foot, former cotton mill warehouse into a retail production facility with a tasting room that’s open to the public, and a unique event space that works perfectly for any occasion – corporate events, weddings and receptions, birthday parties, fundraisers, football viewing parties, and live concerts, and more.
