Lincoln Brewing Company is the shared dream of two couples who bring together faith, craftsmanship, community spirit, and a deep love of craft beer.

Adam and Briana Geiger balance factory work and ministry as they step into the world of brewing with a clear purpose: creating a safe, welcoming, family friendly environment rather than a bar. Briana, a United Methodist pastor, sees the taproom as an extension of her calling. An opportunity for connection, hospitality, and outreach while Adam supports the vision behind the scenes. Their hope is to build a space where people of all ages can gather comfortably, enjoy local food trucks, bring their dogs, and feel part of something rooted in community.

Joining them are Mark and Jackie Goins, longtime craft beer enthusiasts who have spent a decade visiting breweries and dreaming of opening one of their own. They share the belief that breweries can be family centered spaces that foster fellowship and support mental well being. Mark, a cabinet maker, will serve as brewer, crafting a wide range of beers and seltzers. Jackie, a full time nurse and part time nurse practitioner, will jump in wherever needed.

Together, the two couples are excited to bring live music, great beer, and a vibrant gathering place to Van Wert as they open the doors of Lincoln Brewing Co.
