The trivia behind El Paso Brewing Company is quite interesting. According to a feature on the brewery, only one of the five owners drinks beer. That would be Carlos Guzman, the brewer. Carlos and his business partner Larry Walter originally set out to build a biodiesel plant, and Carlos brought in his uncle Jorge for Jorge's engineering background. Evelyn Vigo met Norma Reed and the other owners because she worked next door to the biodiesel plant. So it wasn’t beer that brought these friends together. It was biodiesel! Biodiesel, and their love and pride for El Paso. This is why the brewery takes its name from the city that binds them together. Coincidentally, it’s also the name of an old brewing company that existed in the city at the early part of the 20^th century. With eight year-round beers and a few seasonal offerings, the brewery aims to “become a recognized regional brewery”.

Gabe Montoya, Jason Hunt, and Justin Ordonez, the three owners of DeadBeach Brewery, are all local El Paso natives. Gabe was a former master brewer at another brewery, El Paso’s lone local brewery then, until it closed down. Joining forces with restaurateurs Jason and Justin, they established DeadBeach in 2013. The trio formally opened the brewery to the public in November 2015. Currently, they have about a dozen beers on tap, which they rotate constantly. They specialize in “big, bold beers (that) doesn’t hold back on the flavor”. The brewery’s beers are available in “over 300 taps across the city”. Appropriately enough, their slogan is “(beers) for El Paso, by El Paso”. Production is currently limited mostly for the El Paso beer market. Eventually, though, they hope to be able to distribute their beers nationwide. DeadBeach Brewery is listed as one of the 4 Best El Paso Breweries for Local Beer and Food.
