Our Story

Several years ago, Tiffany and I were sitting at one of our favorite breweries in Asheville NC, watching it rain and enjoying a few pints.  She turned to me and asked the age-old question,  “if money was no object and you could do anything, what would you do?…”.  I had to think on it for a minute and decided it would be pretty cool to open a small brewery in our hometown of High Point, NC.  She then asked me what we would call it.  After a few pints of deliberation and reminiscing about my childhood, I came up with “Goofy Foot”.

 

The Name

Goofy foot is a term used in board sports to describe a rider’s stance.   Goofy foot is right foot forward and regular foot is left foot forward.  Growing up, I was goofy footed.  Most of my friends were regular footed.  I started skim-boarding in 1987 and that was the sport where I did most of my riding.  I skated a little bit early on, but my friends would tell you that was not my calling.  Later in life, I learned to surf and snowboard and still do with my family to this day.

Back then, goofy foot was not the typical way to ride just like Goofy Foot is not your typical taproom.  We encourage people to embrace their differences and to “Be Different.  Drink Right.”

 

The Taproom

Our first thought was to have a micro brewery with 6-8 taps of our own.  In the time that passed from our original idea years ago, so many good breweries popped up in North Carolina.  We changed our model to be more of a taproom to support and promote North Carolina breweries and to bring those beers to northern High Point.  I could utilize a small batch brewery to still fill my creative side and to have 3 or 4 beers on tap alongside the other great beers from around the state, region and nation.  

The Brewery

The brewery consists of a 1 barrel brew system, 1 barrel fermenters and serving tanks.  This system allows me to experiment with small batches while not being fully dependent on my beers to make or break the taproom.  We brew 30 gallons at a time and serve it directly from the serving tanks through the wall.  We try to have 2 or 3 Goofy Foot beers on at all times alongside our other great selections.
