Local Ties Brewing

Local Ties Brewing Company is a family-owned and operated microbrewery and taproom located in Carrollton, Georgia. Founded in July 2022 by Alex and Tori Griffin, the brewery was born out of a passion for friendship, community, and craft beer. The Griffins are lifelong residents of the Carrollton and Carroll County area, bringing a deeply local identity to the brand and its operations. Alex Griffin, a general contractor and co-founder of Arbor Design Group — a family construction business with over 30 years of history in the community — partnered with childhood friend Justin Schellhorn to bring the brewing venture to life. Tori Griffin, with a background in marketing and events, serves as the Chief of Hoperations, overseeing the business and community-facing aspects of the operation. Justin Schellhorn serves as Chief of Brewing Operations, drawing on years of homebrewing experience to craft the brewery's beer lineup. His background in IT, combined with a long-standing dedication to the craft, informs the technical and creative precision behind each recipe. Local Ties Brewing Company operates as a taproom-focused microbrewery, meaning the primary venue for enjoying their beers is on-site at their Carrollton location. The taproom is designed to serve as a gathering place for friends and families, with an emphasis on creating a welcoming, community-centered environment. The brewery produces a rotating selection of unique craft beers, developed in-house by Schellhorn. While specific beer styles and a full product catalog are not detailed in available content, the brewery's identity is built around distinctive, locally inspired craft offerings. As a microbrewery, production volumes are small-batch and artisan in nature, with quality and creativity at the forefront. The business celebrated its two-year anniversary in 2024, marking continued growth and community engagement in the west Georgia region. Local Ties Brewing Company represents a hyperlocal craft beverage producer with strong roots in its home community.
