Protector

THE BEGINNING

Sean Haggerty is an American Veteran who served as a SEAL for nearly a decade.  One night, during his third deployment to Iraq, he just wanted a cold craft beer.  With no beer available, he decided to make it.  He crafted up his first batch and from there, a new passion was born. He fell in love with the artistry that goes into brewing and took every opportunity to perfect the process as he finished his time in the teams.

After many years, and boundless support and assurance from his wife and co-founder Cory Haggerty to go organic, the wheels were set into motion. Sean was honorably discharged from the military and decided to go all in on this new venture.  He linked up with fellow “frogman” Ryan Sangster and two longtime friends, Ryan Allis and Mark Thorsen, to forge Protector Brewery.

A GREATER PURPOSE

As the moniker suggests, Protector Brewery was conceptualized by people who have always felt a strong urge to protect.  While at one point that meant serving this great nation during a time of war, it has since evolved. Protector is determined to create a legacy within the beer community by doing our part to assist in the sustainability, overall health, and welfare of our planet for generations to come.
