Aslin Beer Co. was founded in 2015 by Andrew Kelley and Kai Leszkowicz. The name, Aslin, comes from the family that connected Andrew and Kai through marriage; they each married a daughter from the Aslin Family. Andrew’s professional background was in finance and consulting, while Kai worked in public service. They bonded over a shared interest of craft beer and home-brewing, which eventually lead to the idea that “We can do this too.”
Since the inception of Aslin Beer Company, we’ve aimed to create a culture that celebrates beer with a passion and depth of knowledge that’s contagious to others. Through our rapid growth, we’ve come to realize that our beer is not the only good we have the opportunity to cultivate, but that our community is truly at the core of what we do.
While we think beer is fun, and we (really) like to experiment, we’ve also got an intense dedication to brew and provide quality beer of every kind. From ales, to sours to those hefty DIPAs, we invite you to dive in with us, the lager’s fine.
Let’s redefine American beer culture, reeducate our palates and revive our passion for really good beer, together.
