From Friendship
to Fermentation
The Founding of
Tall Boys Brewing
In late 2020, three visionary friends—Collin, Robb, and Alex—founded Tall Boys Brewing with a bold vision to become a leading brewery and be at the forefront of the rapidly growing craft beer scene in Nagoya. Like a brewer carefully crafting a unique brew, they fused their diverse expertise and shared passion to create a haven where locals and visitors could gather. From the beginning, they embraced a community-focused ethos, fostering connections through collaborative ventures with local businesses, which have become as essential to their success as yeast to fermentation. Inspired by Nagoya’s rich culinary heritage, they have even experimented with incorporating local flavors provided by local businesses into their beers.
