History

Established in 2004.

Having been successful with three bars/restaurants, Lester and Fisher decided that 2004 was the year to take the next big step, acting upon that dream from college; to open a brewery and make their very own beers. There was no reason why they couldn't brew the same beers they were bringing in from beer hotbeds out west like Oregon and Colorado. And, with the booming trend toward revitalizing downtowns - and Greensboro wanting to spur the growth of their own - Natty Greene's Pub & Brewing Co. was born in a renovated c.1895 three-story building on the corner of Elm and McGee Streets in what was once known as Hamburger Square. An instant hit, the Pub keyed on brewing quality, full-flavored, great tasting beers in a variety of styles - a logical choice for a brewpub. Where Natty Greene's succeeded even further is in its menu offerings.

Chris and Kayne G.

Business Owner

The early 1990s - the beginning of the first craft beer era in America. It was also a time when Chris Lester and Kayne Fisher, sitting together as underclassmen at UNC-Greensboro drinking NattyBo's (National Bohemian for those unaware), dreamt of one day brewing their own beer and selling it to everyone.Fast-forward to 1996: Lester and Fisher combined their talents - one with a knack for business and the other a thorough knowledge of the restaurant industry - and took ownership of what was then called Spring Garden Bar and Grill. The popular UNC-Greensboro location was renamed Old Town Draught House and their career in bar/restaurant ownership was underway. At that time, not a lot of craft beer was available in the Triad, so Lester and Fisher sought to combine great food at a great value with interesting and unique craft beer offerings you couldn't get in the area. Their idea was a success.
