5×5 Brewing Co.

5×5 Brewing Co. (pronounced Five by Five) is the brainchild of brothers Matt Mazur and George Rice and a longtime friend. Displeased with the available variety of beers in the RGV in the early 1990s Matt Mazur and his college buddy played with the idea of starting a beer-centric publication to help educate local RGV beer drinkers in hopes to develop a demand for more new and exciting beers. The publication idea never launched but with a strong interest in beers, our brewmaster began a 15-year journey into the home brewing scene. With a few well-received competitions he was able to hone his craft and develop the incredible recipes that are used today at 5×5 Brewing. With the tireless hard work from the three Co-Founders and childhood friend Sean Downey, 5×5 Brewing was able to get the momentum to go from a 20-year-old idea of writing about beer to creating the beer that our fans love and crave. George Rice & Sean Downey proudly served in our U.S. Military and it is with the love for their brothers in arms & an unquenchable love for beer that the 5×5 Brewing Company has adopted its military theme, including its name which was a term used by radio operators to describe when signal and clarity was at it’s best.
