Blue Coolers (Blueworks, LLC) is a Utah based company.  Blue Coolers is approximately four years old.  In late 2021, and early 2022, Blue Coolers realized they were paying high delivery fees with some 70% of their business being on the east coast.  Through a networking situation they reached out to Pinnacle 3 Direct Solutions (P3DS) a small Dahlonega based company to assist them in finding a warehouse in the North Georgia area.  After a thorough study via P3DS (Betty Fisher and Ron Winkowski) recommended the McDonald Road facility.  Blue Coolers took up residence at the location in February 2022, with first shipments on May 23, 2022.

The decision was made to staff the operation with high school students under the leadership of Betty Fisher and Ron Winkowski.  Initial contact for workers came via the Bishop of the Morman Church Ward in the area.  Word spread quickly via the boys from The Church and soon a total of twelve boys were “working” part-time.

52 West Brewing is an independent regional craft brewery, located in the heart of North Georgia Wine country. The owners, husband and wife team, David Burns and Samantha Couzens realized one Sunday afternoon while visiting a local winery, that the one thing missing from Dahlonega was a cool brewery. One that offered the same unique experience the wineries had: amazing scenery, music, a laid-back vibe that was close to home but could make you feel worlds away – BUT WITH BEER. Dave has always had a love/love relationship with beer. Drinking it was one thing. The question was could he make it? Starting with a home brewing kit and an insatiable thirst for great beer. The journey to make 52 West Brewing a reality had begun.

Dave and Sam sold their home in Cumming, Georgia, bought a fabulous property in Dahlonega and wrote a business plan. The vision was to build a unique brewery concept, they coined Farm to Pint. A place where they would live, get a couple of cows, grow hops and fruit for the beer and brew uniquely balanced, flavorful beers.
