Brewery and Home Brew Shop Schoolhouse Opens in Marietta

Schoolhouse Brewing, owned by former teachers Thomas Monti and Justin Waller, is open for business in Marietta, and they’re throwing a grand opening party with food trucks and live music this Friday, May 31, to celebrate.

The brewery, located in the back of the complex in what was a bottle and home brew shop next to the Chicken and the Egg on Franklin Court, includes a taproom with 20 rotating beers on tap, a home brew shop with grains, hops, yeast, and supplies, a private events room referred to as the “Detention Room”, and a dog-friendly, fenced-in patio with games like frisbee golf. Schoolhouse also offers crowler and growler refills.

Monti and Waller worked together previously as teachers and both became involved in the home brewing community. The partners enjoyed brewing beer so much they decided to open a brewery together. Schoolhouse’s motto is “Where Education Meets Recess.”

Schoolhouse considers refers to itself as an “open-sourced” brewery, “if you like any of our beers, we will scale it down and give you the recipe so you can recreate it at home,” taproom general manager Christiane Arguello explains. The brewery’s shop provides all the necessary tools, instruction, and ingredients to brew their various beers at home.

Listen to the story behind how the brewery came to fruition.

Open Wednesday and Thursday, 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 12 p.m. to 11 p.m.; Sunday, 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
